Community Involvement
“Learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow’s cause.”
Isaiah 1:17
Heating Assistance
In partnership with Houlton Water Company, we raise hundreds of dollars each year to be distributed to those in our community who are in need of heating assistance. If you would like to donate, there is a box at the back of the sanctuary during winter.
Addiction Support Groups
Our community is disproportionately affected by addiction, and we strongly believe that joining a community of like-minded friends is one of the most effective methods to recovery. Our church building is used to host multiple recovery groups each week, free of charge.
Winter Clothing Drive
Maine winters are cold, cold, cold! Having good, warm winter gear is more than just being comfortable, it’s a necessity. Each winter our community collects winter close and distributes them to those that need it most.
Christmas Boxes for Children
In partnership with Samaritan’s Purse, each year our congregation fills many shoe boxes with toys, toothbrushes, and other fun items to distribute to needy kids around the world. For more info, see Operation Christmas Child.
Rotary Lunch and Hosting
The Houlton Rotary Club is one of the most effective service organizations in town. We are proud to partner with them to host their weekly meetings and yearly auction fundraiser. Dedicated volunteers cook a delicious homemade lunch each week for the 40+ Rotary members, which has been a great, consistent fundraiser for our church.
