Weekend Nutrition for Northampton Students (WNNS)

This new Northampton Public Schools program provides nutritious weekend meals and snacks for students facing food insecurity. Volunteers from four local faith communities—including College Church—are helping make it happen, with support from the school district. Our shared goal is to ensure every student begins the week nourished and ready to thrive.

Straight Ahead Ministry

Volunteers share the love of Christ with students in lock-up facilities throughout the region through friendship and Bible Study.  We periodically hold hygiene product drives on their behalf.

Refugee Resettlement

Northampton and surrounding communities have welcomed well over 100 refugees to the Valley since 2016.  From 2017-2021, College Church partnered with Catholic Charities to provide a “Circle of Care” for a refugee family from the Congo.  We are currently the Donation Hub for Refugee Resettlement in the Valley and continue to support refugee resettlement efforts in various ways.

Operation Christmas Child

Every November, roughly 10,000 shoeboxes filled with gifts pass through our campus on their way to children living in poverty all over the world.  In addition, our congregation hosts an annual packing party where hundreds of shoeboxes are packed and prayed over before shipping!
