SPECIAL MISSION OFFERINGS

The United Church of Christ Special Mission Offerings exist to allow congregations and individuals to help people at points of critical need in their lives. 

Our church has identified four areas where these critical human needs exist: 
• in places lacking health and educational resources and/or where disaster has struck; 
• within systems of injustice which oppress daily life and opportunity; 
• in the lives of church leaders without sufficient resources to live with dignity; 
• in the nurture of youth and congregations just beginning their lives of faith.

OUR CHURCH'S WIDER MISSION (OCWM)

Our Church’s Wider Mission is the name we use to describe the work we do as the United Church of Christ beyond the local church – through our Conferences, national ministries, and UCC-related institutions. Our Church’s Wider Mission is also the name we give to the financial support given by UCC members and congregations that makes this broader mission possible.
