MISSIONS THAT WE SUPPORT

refugee advocacy, refugee resettlement and international and domestic disaster preparedness and response. By supporting OGHS, together, we reach out around the world in compassion, adding hope and dignity to life.
The mission of Strengthen the Church is to help start new churches where the need is great, fund ordained leadership as these congregations begin to form and grow, provide money to renew existing congregations that only need some assistance from us the thrive again, and fund programs for youth and young adults and leadership development for the whole church.
Through the Neighbors in Need offering, the church expresses a common commitment to justice and compassion throughout the United States and Puerto Rico. One-third of the offering supports the work of the Council for American Indian Ministry (CAIM), including much-needed financial support for 20 American Indian congregations in the UCC. Two-thirds of the offering supports justice advocacy and direct service projects such as just-peace programs and community grants.
The Christmas Fund, administered by the UCC Pension Boards, provides gift checks to 
low-income retired clergy and their widowed spouses; emergency assistance to clergy in financial need; and funding for pension and health supplementation plans for low income retired clergy and lay employees.
