Our congregation supports both local and global outreach. Here is a short description of some of the programs we support.

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.
  • 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.
  • 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

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).
  • World Renew: World Renew works with more than 30 countries responding to natural disasters, civil unrest and ending global poverty. You can see more about what they do and offer at their webpage:https://worldrenew.ca/

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
