Changing Lives: Our Church's Wider Mission

" . . . for I was hungry and yoy gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked, and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me. Just as you did it to one of the least of these, you did it to me." Matthew 25:35

Forty percent of the people on our planet—more than 2.5 billion—now live in poverty, struggling to survive on less than $2.00 a day. In response to this, our church commits 15% of our pledge-giving to mission and outreach. As followers of Jesus, we are called to be advocates and agents for change in our world. How could we respond any other way?

Here at UCCT, we take these words seriously. Jesus calls us out into the world to be his Love, Healing, and Hope. We are a community of ordinary people with an extraordinary vision. If you're ready to do something, small or large, we invite you to join us.

Follow our Missions links listing many of the communities and organizations that we generously contribute to with our gifts and talents that will not only transform our local and global communities, but change you as a child of God. Take a step, one, two, or many, toward being the change. Never underestimate the power of ONE.

Stuffed Animals for Haiti

The proceeds from a Pancake Breakfast went to SAFE in Connecticut to help clean and send gently used stuffed animals to Haiti after Max Boland asked for our help and advice. Pictured above, are some of the recipients.
