Our Outreach
Financial Outreach
In Matthew 25, Jesus tells us that when we feed the hungry, provide a home for the homeless, give a coat to those who need one, and visit the prisoner - that whatever we do for our brothers and sisters in need, you did for me. KC takes this very seriously. Twenty percent of what is given in pledges and offerings is sent to 501-C3 organizations that do just that. We contribute to groups that work to eliminate hunger, to provide shelter, to work for peace, health, racial and social justice, to support families, and to create a sustainable and healthy world.
HOWARD COMMUNITY COLLEGE
Kittamaqundi Community Inc. Scholarship Endowment
Each year, this scholarship enables a number of students at HCC to support their success as they work towards their degree.
RUNNING BROOK ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Throughout the school year, our church community participates in events at our neighborhood elementary school.
COLD WEATHER SHELTER
Along with other congregations in the county, the program provides shelter and food for homeless people and families during the coldest months of the year. KC annually sponsors the Cold Weather Shelter financially and in person.
ROUTE ONE DAY RESOURCE CENTER
Once a month, KC volunteers provide food and serve meals at the Leola Dorsey Community Resource Center off U.S. Route 1 in Jessup, MD.
HOWARD COUNTY FOOD BANK
Each month, KC collects food and financial donations to the Food Bank here in Howard County, and transports all that we collect. Each month has a different theme.
LITTLE FRIENDS PEACE CAMP
In partnership with Little Friends for Peace, we host and staff a week-long day camp for young campers (age 5-14) to learn to be peacemakers. The program is open to both KC families and the larger community.
AGAPE HOUSE MINISTRIES
In partnership with Agape House Ministries, we donate school supplies and provide Christmas gifts to children in need in Baltimore City.
OUR SACRED GARDEN
The KC Sacred Garden is a quiet space filled with plants, paths, benches, a labyrinth, a pond and secluded areas in which to meditate. It is a gift from us to the wider community at large, and is open to everyone all year long. The garden is designed and maintained by KC and volunteer community members.
