LOCAL
- CCC Ministries: Our church serves us and our community in many ways, including providing a place of prayer, worship and discipleship in the way of Jesus; a place of gathering, play, connection and learning through our community nights; Pastoral care, community and prayer to seniors; our ministry to Mothers of Preschoolers; and helping neighbours in need.
- e4c: e4c is dedicated to limiting, alleviating and ultimately eliminating poverty in Edmonton. Each year, e4c supports thousands of Edmontonians experiencing vulnerability by helping individuals, youth, families and communities move toward stability and independence. To see more information about how e4c helps the community, visit their webpage: https://e4calberta.org/
- Hope Mission: Hope Mission started as a soup kitchen in 1929 and has grown into a “not-for-profit Christian social care agency caring for impoverished and homeless men, women and children in Alberta.”
Hope Mission currently offers Meals and Critical care, Addiction Recovery and Spiritual Care, Shelter and Housing as well as Kids and Youth Outreach. Daily, they serve over 1000 meals and provide shelter for over 500 people. Hope Mission also collects donated items for their Hope Bargain Shoppe. You can see more about what they do and offer at their webpage:https://hopemission.com/edmonton/ - St. Albert Food Bank and Community Village: They provide emergency support to the community since 1984. CCC provides both financial aid through our mission offerings, food donations and a Christmas Mug campaign. Food bank homepage
- Star literacy: Provides education and personal growth opportunities for St. Albert residents. To see more information about their programs visit: http://STAR Literacy Program
GLOBAL
- Words of Hope(WOH): is one of the Missions that the RCA supports. Words of hope is an organization that “proclaims the gospel through media in order to build the church in hard to reach places.” They primarily work through radio as it is available to many remote regions and provides a media that can reach large numbers. They provide indigenous churches the means to proclaim the gospel through the use of media. Words of Hope partners with indigenous churches with a shared vision for them to minister in their own countries with the resources they need. Words of Hope also provides daily devotions and podcasts as other means to engage in God’s word that are readily available on their webpage (www.woh.org).
LOCAL/GLOBAL:
- Mobilizing for Missions: As part of the RCA, we are asked to prayerfully consider supporting the Mobilizing for Mission (MfM) Fund. This is a fund that is organized by the Regional Synod of Canada. The MfM “exists for the purpose of preparing and provisioning the people and churches of the Regional Synod of Canada for mission. Funds are provided by donations from churches and individuals. Our goal is to help transform God’s call and our dreams into reality.” You can visit their webpage for more information – you’ll even recognize the Wulkan’s photo for the Pastor and Family Sabbaticals link! https://www.synodcanada.org/mobilizing-for-mission-fund.html
