Community
CBC actively supports local, national and global causes. Past service projects include mission trips to the Dominican Republic, Honduras and Maine. Closer to home, we continue our service by providing disadvantaged students with backpacks filled with school supplies at the start of every school year. At Christmas, we “adopt” several families in need, donating the gifts on family members’ wish lists. Once a month, community members gather at CBC to sew dresses as part of the national “Little Dresses for Africa” project.
The congregation contributes to local causes such as the Jamestown Community Farm and a women’s resource center. We also provide financial support to a Liberian medical student and contribute to natural disaster relief funds.
Our centrally located building plays a pivotal role in our community outreach efforts. We house the Jamestown Community Food Pantry and serve as a venue for the local Community Chorus practices and concerts, free community chair yoga classes, and a weekly walking group.
Beyond these missions, a group of our church members is actively involved in the Jamestown Ukrainian Relief Project.
Mission
In partnership with our Jamestown community, we seek to minimize hunger and provide nutritional sustenance for our neighbors.
Vision
We envision a community in which everyone has enough nutritious food to eat, and hunger and its effects are ended.
We are a non-denominational, non-political, non-profit group formed for the express purpose of providing aid and support to the people of Ukraine. We come together in a spirit of community. ALL ARE WELCOME TO JOIN IN THIS PROJECT. We welcome your ideas, your talents, and your moral support.
We recognize that relief comes in many forms. Our primary goal right now is raising funds to help the refugees and those who have stayed in Ukraine. We donate the funds we raise to well-established, thoroughly vetted organizations with a proven record of responding in crisis situations.
