Community Outreach
Living Our Mission
Responding to Jesus’s call in Matthew 25 to feed, clothe and care for those in need, our Community Outreach Ministry assists those who serve the most vulnerable in our community, our nation and the world. We do this through an annual grant-making program, by identifying ways parishioners can provide hands-on service and encouraging participation. Our outreach partners include:

Outreach Grants
The Community Outreach Committee oversees our grant program. In addition to small grants (typically $10,000 or less) for such work, we provide funds to organizations with local, national or international Episcopal affiliation, especially those founded by Christ Church or impacted by significant parishioner participation. Recipients are selected in an annual process, with guidance from the clergy.
Our 2023 grant cycle is closed, and we will begin awarding grants in February. The application process for 2024 will begin mid-September.
