Our Church’s Wider Mission & Special Mission Offerings

Our Church's Wider Mission is comprised of Basic Support, Strengthen the Church, The Christmas Fund (formerly Veterans of the Cross), One Great Hour of Sharing, and Neighbors in Need.


Trinity Reformed UCC supports all these offerings, which are vital ministries that bring hope to people in the U.S. and around the world. By giving to all five offerings, churches contribute to identified areas of critical human need that include, but are not limited to:


  • places lacking health and educational resources and/or where disaster has stuck
  • systems of injustice which oppress daily life and opportunity
  • lives of church leaders without sufficient resources to live with dignity
  • the nurture of youth and congregations just beginning their lives of faith

Spirit of Peace provides gifts to the following Special Mission Offerings:

OUR CHURCH’S WIDER MISSION

Basic Support (OCWM Basic)

 

OCWM Basic support enables associations, conferences, the national setting, and some of our affiliated partners to continue providing the care and services that are vital to the United Church of Christ.  OCWM Basic support is generally given at local churches, where the funds are then sent to their associations and conferences before being forwarded to the national offices in Cleveland.  (Individual donors are encouraged to give through their local churches for Our Church’s Wider Mission Basic Support.

STRENGTHEN THE CHURCH

(STC)

 

Strengthen the Church is a special mission offering to reimagine and build the future of the UCC. Shared at the conference and national levels, STC largely supports youth ministries and full-time leaders for new churches in parts of the country where the UCC does not have a strong presence. It also provides support for existing church’s new initiatives.

ONE GREAT HOUR OF SHARING

 

One Great Hour of Sharing (OGHS) works with international partners to provide sources of clean water, food, education and health care, small business micro-credit, advocacy and resettlement for refugees and displaced persons and emergency relief and rehabilitation. OGHS also supports domestic and international ministries for disaster preparedness and response.

NEIGHBORS IN NEED

 

Neighbors in Need supports ministries of justice and compassion throughout the United States, including the Council for American Indian Ministries (CAIM), justice and advocacy, and direct service projects supported by Justice and Local Church Ministries.

 

This offering is received on First Sunday of October as part of World Communion Sunday.

THE CHRISTMAS FUND

 

The Christmas Fund for the Veterans of the Cross and the Emergency Fund is a Special Mission Offering that congregations have been supporting for over 100 years.  The offering is administered through the United Church Board for Ministerial Assistance, the charitable arm of the Pension Boards.  Funds provide direct financial support to those who serve the church and are facing financial difficulties.  Active and retired clergy, lay employees, and their surviving spouses may be eligible for the Supplementation of Small Annuities, Supplementation of Health Premiums, Emergency Grants, and/or Christmas “Thank You” Gift Checks.

 

This offering is received on the Sunday before Christmas.
