The people of Christ Church seek to be the heart and hands of Jesus by aligning our passions and strengths with organizations that work to meet the needs of our neighbors, both locally and internationally. Throughout the Bible, we learn that God wants us to work for justice, especially for the vulnerable.  Justice and mercy are core values of what we strive to do in our service through Missions and Outreach.

The organizations we support have been looked at through this lens and include our four priorities of ending hunger, providing shelter, enhancing educational outcomes, and ensuring access to health care. Providing relief to the suffering is part of what we do, while also seeking opportunities for systemic, transformative change.

Christ Church sponsors hands-on serving opportunities and supply drives throughout the year so we can care for others in Christ's name. We welcome you to participate as you are able! The best way to stay engaged in our missions efforts is through our weekly eNews and the Realm newsfeed. We use both platforms to share opportunities for you to give back to our community. You can read the lastest news here and contact staff to be added to our online community, Realm.

Are you interested in helping people in Richmond who live in a food desert, i.e. lack access to fresh food? Consider serving at Shalom Farms to help grow, cultivate and/or harvest fresh vegetables through the ministry of Shalom Farms.

Shalom Farms is a regional food access and community development project. Its mission is to “ensure access to healthy food and the support to live healthy lives" through sustainable food production. Their ministry provides healthy food to thousands of our RVA neighbors and helping hands are needed! Please contact Keith Tan if you're interested in serving.
