Community Christian Church (DOC) & First Christian Church (DOC) Community Garden
|
The garden is a new joint ministry between the two congregations to combat local food
insecurity. Community Christian is providing the land for the garden and both churches have provided volunteer labor to build, tend and financially support this ministry. All the fresh produce harvested from the garden is given to the First Christian Church Food Pantry, which serves hundreds of families in the Jefferson City area each week. The goal of the garden is to enhance the nutritional value of the food offered to those using the food pantry. “The garden is a visible and living expression of our shared mission to love and serve our neighbors,” said Rev. Michael Dunn, pastor of First Christian Church. “Every tomato, pepper, and green bean grown here is a reminder that God provides – and that we are called to share.” Rev. Alan Bailey, pastor of Community Christian Church, added, “We are grateful that we can make the land available for this shared ministry. This is an impactful expression of what can happen when churches come together to live out the Gospel of Jesus.” For more information about how to get involved in this ministry or the food pantry please contact FCC's front office at 573-636-5157 or [email protected]. |
