Mission- Serving and Giving
We seek to do the will of God by following the example of Christ in service locally, nationally and internationally.

Mission and Benevolence
Christ Community Reformed Church is deeply involved in the mission of the Christian Church locally and world-wide through financial support and community involvement.

Financial Support
Christ Community Reformed Church provides financial support to a large number of local ministries such as the Jonesville Food Pantry, Shenendehowa Helping Hands, Habitat For Humanity, HIV/AIDS Care, Schenectady City Mission, Samaritan Counseling Center, Hospice of Schenectady, Juvenile Diabetes Foundation, The Susan G. Komen Foundation, Interfaith Impact, Task Force Against Domestic Violence, Child Abuse and Neglect Force of Saratoga County, CAPTAIN, and Camp Fowler (our Reformed Church Camp-Speculator, New York).

We support the national and world mission of the Reformed Church in America through annual gifts to New Brunswick Theological Seminary. We share in support of missionaries Bruce and Laurie Hawley, the Titus Mission Project in Croatia, and programs addressing world hunger, family planning, medical care, and evangelism in Latin America, Russia, the Middle East and elsewhere. We also directly contribute to our friends in the Orange Farm School Project in South Africa, Friends of Sarospatak and the Ancient Biblical Manuscript Center.

About 10% of our annual operating budget is devoted to needs beyond our walls. This amount is supplemented by periodic special needs offerings to support specific mission programs such as the major flooding in US, World Trade Center Response and currently Tsunami Relief through Reformed Church World Service and hurricane relief in the Gulf Coast.

Mission Through Community Involvement
Christ Community Reformed Church encourages the congregation to respond to God’s love for us. Every member has a talent to discover and use, either by way of participation in our many church organizations or individually. Many members contribute time and expertise by serving on community boards, in local government, and in various ministries, such as Meals on Wheels, Tutors, Girl Scouts/Boy Scouts Leaders, CFO Park District, CAPTAIN’s Treasures Volunteers, Court Appointed Advocates for Children (CASA), Volunteer Tax Preparers, PTA Leaders, Coaches-Community Sports Groups, Boards Members—Lake George Opera, Trustees—Friends of Shenendehowa Library Board, Saratoga Performing Arts Center—Sponsors and Patrons, STEM (Mentoring for Schools), Food Pantry Volunteers, Garden Club Volunteers, Burnt Hills Oratorio Society, President of Board of Trustees of Norman Rockwell Museum—Stockbridge, Mass. and Halfmoon Town Board—Councilman.


Mission through Sharing the Faith
The Outreach Committee of CCRC is dedicated to equipping our church family to reach out to those who are newcomers in our community, those who need their faith strengthened, those who have fallen away, and those who have no faith. Our goal is to encourage and support our members in the endeavor by providing opportunities for them to share their faith with those who are searching or in need. We work to establish our identity in the community through publicity (brochures, website updates, advertising) and participation in community events on behalf of CCRC. We also plan social events that encourage fellowship and provide opportunities to experience the welcome of Jesus Christ.
