2018 Reconciliation Special Offering
Our church participates in the outreach ministries of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). The Reconciliation Offering was established in 1967 during the General Assembly in St. Louis. Originally designated for issues Ethnic Injustice and Inner City Ministries, the offering's purpose more recently was incorporated into the church's mission imperative to become an anti-racist, pro-reconciliation church.

We are a congregation joined in covenant with the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in the United States and Canada. You are invited to explore our denominational website at this link: http://disciples.org/
As a congregation, we participate in the Outreach and Mission programs of our General Church. Through budgeted funds and through six "special day" offerings each year, we join with other Disciple congregations to support the General and Regional ministries of the church, including our church-related colleges and universities, and ministries of peace, justice, and compassion both globally and at home. Our General Church also offers resources and support for local congregational ministries of worship, discipling. evangelism, and fellowship. Visit http://disciples.org/ and click on the "Missions" tab to explore the many expressions of ministry we support.
The six "Special Day" offerings are in addition to our budgeted outreach to Disciple Mission Fund. These offerings are made up of gifts from individual members, and include the following:
