CCC Benevolence Fund: A Benevolence Fund is a reserve used to assist individuals or families with a specific need within our church or in our community. These are usually in emergency cases where individuals just need a little help to get them through a difficult situation or handle an unexpected expense. In the past this has included bus passes, groceries, counselling fees and Taxi fares.

Words of Hope: WOH is one of the Missions that the RCA supports. Please prayerfully consider specifying missions in your weekly offering. This money will be used further the work of the Lord in hard to reach places.
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).
