Community Service Team
The Community Service Team (CST) is active every season of the year to to equip and lead the people of ChristChurch in works of compassion for those in need.
The team provides opportunities for anyone to use his or her gifts and skills in community service. Participation in the CST is open to anyone who attends ChristChurch. Newcomers are always welcome to participate in all meetings and activities.
The projects undertaken are prayerfully chosen to serve the local community and the world in the Spirit of Christ. Guiding principles include projects focused on assisting with immediate needs—such as shelter, food, clothing and medical care—and which promote the self-sufficiency and dignity of those we serve.
We provide ongoing support to local food banks and are active with the Willamette West Chapter of Habitat for Humanity. In fact, this year we are sponsoring a house for a family of eight. See more about our Hammering Hope Home Project.
Annual projects include: a major fall food drive to help stock local food banks for the holidays, winter outreach to the homeless and a spring book drive for low-income children and families.
