Whenever possible, we strive to combine both education and personal engagement along with our gifts. We encourage neighborhood involvement.

In addition to not only “doing good for those in need”, we also try to engage in opportunities to support, advocate for and learn more about a variety of social justice issues.
We strongly support and welcome the LGBTQ community.
We believe God expects us to be stewards of the environment and as a small token of support, we recently installed and maintain a rain garden.
Over the years, we have been actively involved with economic development (KIVA), scholarship sponsorships (Mexico) and youth homelessness (Minneapolis).

Variety of Disaster Relief Programs
For Decades, a UCC 5 for 5 Supporter (Neighbors in Needs, One Great Hour of Sharing, Veterans of the Cross Christmas Fund, Strengthen the Church, Our Church’s Wider Mission (OCWM).

While operating independently of the Outreach Team, the Chapel Hills Enduring Fund plays an important role in our overall giving philosophy.
Over the last 20+ years, the church has made external grants in excess of $130,000.
These grants have gone to local, state, national and international causes.

Connect with a Child is a Holistic Program responding to the needs of poor, orphaned children and women in Kenya.
