OUR OUTREACH PROGRAMS
At Hitchcock, we seek to provide opportunities for both individuals and families to learn about our theology of doing justice, educate ourselves about problems affecting our community and world, and to participate in building the kingdom of God through acts of compassion and solidarity. We also continue to support partners doing this work both financially and through direct material support. Check out the various programs you can get involved with below and feel free to email Reverend Katherine Pater, if you are looking to assist but aren’t sure about a specific program.
