Serve Our Schools
Information Meeting
Sunday, July 9 | Butterfield
We believe that all kids matter to Jesus and that the local church is uniquely called to care for children in our community who would benefit from another caring, reliable relationship. Research shows that the common factor in determining a child's future success is if they have stable, committed, healthy relationships with adults in their lives.
Christ Church partners with organizations that are serving in local elementary and high schools. We are looking for volunteers who are willing to develop relationships with students and impact our local schools.
Email Kelly Shiell at kshiell@ChristChurch.us to get involved!
