The Strengthen the Church Offering reflects the shared commitment of people throughout the United Church of Christ to build up the church. Rev. Traci D. Blackmon, Associate General Minister United Church of Christ affirmed, “I often have the privilege of standing on holy ground as I travel the breadth of our beloved Church. These are places where God shows up through the work of God’s people to treat other’s needs as holy”. This offering is helping UCC churches feed the hungry through food pantries and providing fresh fruit and vegetables in communities deprived of this resource. It is helping churches provide clothing and shelter for those in need, including our neighbors who are unhoused. Funds raised support new churches and church plants, innovation and new ministries in existing congregations, minister and leadership development and new youth ministries. By your generosity, you are building up the Body of Christ.

Please give generously to the Strengthen the Church offering beginning Pentecost Sunday, May 29, 2023.
