Programs and activities
Generosity Offerings
One important way that we act on our values as a congregation is through our monthly Generosity Offerings. Each month, our congregation gives 85% of our Sunday collection (not designated for the church) to a local organization working to create justice and compassion in our community. Learn more and nominate an organization on our Generosity Offerings page.
Weekly Food Drive
When we are able to meet in person we collect food to be distributed through our South Bay Food Pantry and invite you to place your non-perishable food donations in the barrel on the Hillcrest patio each week.
