We are a congregation committed to service. A high percentage of our congregation is actively involved in the life of the church. The Fellowship and Membership Ministry is here to help guide members in finding appropriate areas for involvement and to match people with the many opportunities to serve that occur in the life of the church.

​​

We participate in the mission of the wider UCC church through strong support of Our Church's Wider Mission, monthly communion offerings, budgeted support for a number of local needs, and various special appeals. South Church is a leader among New Hampshire UCC congregations in its annual per-member giving to mission and outreach.

​

South Church partners include The Friendly Kitchen (food aid); The Concord Coalition to End Homelessness (CCEH); Climate Hope Affiliates; NH Crop Walk, and Thrive Survivor Support Center. 

​

Representatives from South Church have traveled from Biloxi, MS to Agua Caliente, El Salvador, and our congregation has participated for several years in Bread For the World's annual Offering of Letters.

 

Faith in Action - Moment For Mission
Each month, the Faith in Action Ministry highlights a local or national cause for service and donations. From global disaster relief to everyday essentials for those in need right here in Merrimack County, each Moment For Mission is a vital part of South Church giving.

​

You can find this month's Moment for Mission here.​

Faith in Action - Service Sunday

The Faith in Action Ministry sponsors a workday out in the community. Participants gather for a blessing and assignments, then make their way to work for our non-profit community partners and to complete needed maintenance projects at South Church. 

Senior High Community Service and Mission Trips

The Senior High Youth Group participates in local community service projects and makes an annual mission trip focused on meeting the needs of others, learning about social injustice in our world, and growing personally and spiritually. In recent years, this group has traveled to New Orleans; Ottawa, Canada; and West Virginia.

 

Experiences have included building for Habitat for Humanity, serving in soup kitchens, and exploring the local culture. Each year our youth raise funds for Christmas gifts for teens, and work in various local mission opportunities.

Helping Those In Need

South Church Relief Society assists those in financial need in the Concord Area, and the church provides a weekly meeting space for self-help groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous (Mon/Wed/Fri at 5:30pm).
