Our Mission

Our Mission

We believe in serving our community and the world. We are proud to sponsor the global reach of the United Church of Christ in addition to sharing our talent and treasure participating in a wide variety of local projects. We encourage our members to bring their ideas forward. If someone is passionate about implementing a new project, we seek ways to try to make it happen.

We prepare meals and serve at meal sites sponsored by Churches United. The meal sites are at Mt. Zion Baptist Church in East Moline and Hope United Church of Christ in Moline. We serve 8 to 10 times throughout the year.
