What to Expect:

This workshop will offer a brief orientation to the work of community organizing and transformational/adaptive leadership through presentations, demonstrations, and participant interaction.

While the focus will be faith-based and church oriented, the application is interdisciplinary and relatable to other groups such as public schools, non-profit service organizations, unions, and others whose mission is to serve the community and the common good.

Let's put together a team from ChristChurch! Please contact Pastor David if you are interested.





Karen Bender, Community of ChristChurch member shares about her commitment to volunteering at the Rock Creek Church Food Bank:

I have been volunteering there for over four years, every Tuesday morning from 8:15 to roughly 1:30 or 2:00. We help hundreds of people that come every Tuesday between the hours of 9:00 and 1:00 or 4:00 and 7:00 with the need for food. They are one of the best food pantries in the NW as I'm told.

All is free, of course, and they provide vegetables (fresh at times), meat, canned food items, snacks, bread, pastries, rice, noodles, milk, eggs, etc. The inventory of what is provided to the clients varies week to week but most people leave with about 7-8 bags of groceries every single Tuesday.

This isn't just a pantry for Washington County. They serve anybody from anywhere in God's name and even if somebody doesn't have an address (homeless), they can still sign up.

I love volunteering there so much. To see the happy people and children get food to survive is an amazing feeling for me.

The one thing they have been needing over the years is toilet paper for the clients in need. Although Linda Eld (the former Pastor there) and I have talked about this several times, she indicates all her efforts to get toilet paper now and then is futile most times. She has applied and asked for this donation but it never seems to happen.
