Missions and Justice

"I don’t know what your destiny will be, but one thing I know: the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who have sought and found how to serve."   -Albert Schweitzer

SCUCC has a 50+ year tradition of having a strong Missions Outreach program.  We are serious about our commitment to social justice and missions which have formed our congregation's core values and identity.  We have historically been active in supporting and advocating for the needs of people at the local, state and global level.

We have an active Missions Committee that guides the church's support of various social justice and mission organizations. That committee also provides the congregation with a variety of opportunities for reaching out to others, some of which are listed below: 

• Each November and December SCUCC adopts several families through Vista Del Camino. The generosity is overflowing, and each family receives plenty of gifts and food thanks to the generous hearts of our members.
• SCUCC also supports the Justa Center by providing water and personal cleaning supplies; these can be placed in "The Box" in our narthex.  We also pay for coffee at the Center.
• Our "Jesus Beyond" project allows a person to select a charity of their own choosing to donate $100 from the church's Missions fund. There's a drawing each month during a worship service to select the person.  Frequently, the person chosen will talk during a worship service about why they chose that charity.
