St. Augustine's Christian Outreach Commission Mission Grants
St. Augustine’s has a long history of service to others and working for social justice, commitments which underpin our Christian discipleship. St. Augustine’s grant program is the means by which we commit a portion of our treasure to support the important work of organizations striving to make our world a more equitable one. Priority Targets for funding are: hunger/homelessness, anti-violence, environmental action, legal and housing equality, and refugee assistance.
Christian Outreach Commission Purpose Statement:
We are Christians committed to witnessing our faith through reaching out to neighborhoods, our villages and towns, and our world. It is our purpose to:
Research and recommend responsible and effective use of our allocated funds from St. Augustine's budget;
Inform our Clergy, Wardens, Vestry, and Parish of the social and spiritual needs that exist beyond our walls;
Encourage the prayers, hands-on efforts and financial assistance of our faith community in addressing these needs;
Provide a wide variety of opportunities for parishioners to express their faith by taking part in outreach projects and ongoing programs;
Continue daily to spread God's word and love in all we do.
