COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS
“Seek the peace and prosperity of the city.”
Jeremiah 29:7
We’re not content to build a great church.
We want to help build a great city, for all people!
God calls us to weave ourselves into the fabric of our community, and to seek our neighbors’ good.
We are privileged to be able to partner with others to work for the good of the city! Here are some of our partnerships:
Grace House
The Grace House is a residential treatment program for mothers in recovery, and their children. We provide transportation to church, mentoring, enriching activities and other supports to the residents and staff. Contact Deana Willems to find out more or to get involved!
Straight Ahead Ministry
Volunteers share the love of Christ with students in lock-up facilities throughout the region through friendship and Bible Study. Find out more, or contact Marc O’Neil to get involved!
Refugee Resettlement
College Church provides a Circle of Care for a refugee family in Northampton. Find out more, or contact Dollene Targan.
The Gap
Currently Closed due to the Pandemic.

Each morning most of the local shelters require their residents to vacate their facilities. During the winter months many of these residents are cold and hungry and have nowhere to go. The Gap Program helps to address this “gap” by providing a warm place to go, a hot breakfast, and friendly faces. Click here to find out how you can get involved.
