“Never doubt that a thoughtful, committed individual can change the world. Indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.” – Margaret Mead, Anthropologist

“We are servants in a needy world” – expressed so beautifully by church member, David Smith

The role of the Community and World Outreach Ministry Division is to assist the congregation to express its community and world outreach responsibility through relationships and funding both globally and locally. This includes, but is not limited to, involvement in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), special offering promotions, ministries to the marginalized, and enlistment of volunteers in community service.

Supporting mission trips to US locations and Kenya to repair, build or rebuild
Supporting Bread for the World organization
Collecting food for the food pantry at Love Chapel
Financially supporting the Ecumenical Assembly of Bartholomew County Churches assistance programs

Seeking to make North Christian Church an inclusive church, which includes encouraging dialogue about sexual orientation and gender identity as we welcome LGBT Christians into our community life
