Ministries

Our outreach to people throughout the world has always been strong; as is witnessed in our dedicated giving to Neighbors in Need, One Great Hour of Sharing, Veterans of the Cross, Our Church's Wider Mission, the Lakota Mission, sponsoring a child in Israel, serving food at a homeless shelter, and participation in the Food Pantry among others.

Food Pantry items are collected the first two Sundays of the month.  The Salvation Army suggests specific items to be donated each month.

Mission Partners are Rawdat El-Zuhur (Garden of Flowers) School, East Jerusalem, Israel ) and our sponsored child - Layla Rassem; Elk Horn Hill UCC, our Lakota partner in Little Eagle, South Dakota; and John Campbell-Nelson, Evangelical Christian Church of Timor, Indonesia.

Help Serve a Meal with First Christian Church the fifth Wednesday of each month.  If you would be willing to help serve a meal in Des Moines at Trinity Methodist Church, please call Carolyn Hobbs (792-2687) or Virginia at the church office (792-3773).
