The people of Christ Church seek to be the heart and hands of Jesus by aligning our passions and strengths with organizations that are working to meet the needs of our neighbors— here in Richmond and far beyond. Because God’s work is the healing of the world, we wish to focus our giving on life’s fundamental necessities—without which the ability to live a healthy life and fulfill one’s God-given potential is impossible. Accordingly, we partner with organizations working to end hunger, provide shelter, enhance educational outcomes, and ensure access to health care. And because we long for an equitable and just world in which the need for crisis responses are the exception and not the norm, we support organizations dedicated to systemic, transformative change. Christ Church organizes a variety of volunteer opportunities for parishioners and we encourage everyone to serve as they feel called.

 MISSION TRIPS TO HAITI  
We have a long-standing relationship with two Episcopal parishes and their communities in Haiti. Our call to partner with and serve our brothers and sisters there continues! We are planning mission trips to Haiti and need hearts and hands to serve with us. Especially needed are doctors, PAs, RNs, NPs and anyone with medical experience -- but we also need folks to upgrade our partner schools and clinic. 

Trip timing will depend on availability and interest. If you’re interested in a mission trip to Haiti in 2019 or 2020, or in learning more about our partnerships, contact Penny Sellers, pennysellers@verizon.net.
