MISSION PARTNERS
We are grateful to partner with many individuals and organizations, both locally and around the world. Our missionaries are long-term partners we support financially on a quarterly basis. Other partners include individuals and organizations who we support in diverse ways including financial support, food pantry, Bibles, and volunteers on an as-needed or short-term basis. For specific information on who we support as a church, select each below.
WAYS TO SERVE

Volunteering is one of the best ways to connect with others and make a real impact toward our vision of becoming a life-changing community, passionately pursuing Christ.

Coming Up in Outreach
Helping Without Hurting
1st Sundays, Feb-Jun | 10:45am-12pm
Room 205 | Led by: Michelle Santiago
Rather than simply defining poverty as a lack of material things, we need to get to the very root of the issue: broken relationships with God, self, others, and the rest of creation. What does that mean for a short-term mission trip to a low-income community? This 5-week video-based training from The Chalmers Center aims to help God’s people rethink poverty and respond with practical biblical principles that lead to lasting and mutual engagement without causing long-term harm to materially poor communities.

One Winter Night Fundraiser
Friday, Feb 6th | 6pm-6am | WRCC
CU at Home’s One Winter Night Fundraiser is an annual event that provides a powerful opportunity to learn about homelessness and raise awareness to both the needs and resources available to this population in Champaign-Urbana. WRCC will be a participating site for individuals and families to either camp outside or sleep in a vehicle on our church property. We’ll also have opportunities to pray together, learn more about homelessness, and hear testimonies. This is a family-friendly event, with lots of flexibility to adapt to your individual or group needs.
Schedule for the evening (participation in any or all of these segments is welcomed)
- 6 to 7pm – Set up for dwelling area and evening program
- 7 to 9pm – Homelessness Education & Engagement Program
- 9 to midnight – Devotions, Reflection, & Fellowship
- Midnight to 6am – Dwelling in a tent or vehicle
Meals on Mission
Sunday, April 27th | The Foyer
Our missions teams will be selling a take-out lunch after both services. The funds raised will support our 2025 mission trip and the ministry where they’ll serve. So, cancel your restaurant plans and enjoy a prepared meal with family and friends at home.
The menu will be announced in April.
