Missions
Why Missions
DNA is essential to any organization, and serving as the Hands & Feet of Jesus is part of the DNA at HCC. Constantly, we are reminded in God’s Word of His Mission in this world and how He chose to use “US” as a part of that Mission. While we often begin that process in meeting a “need,” it’s also essential that we remember, we are to be a Distribution Center of the Gospel and not just a Social Injustice Agency.
Missional living will provide opportunities for us to be His Hands and Feet, and to make sure those He collides our lives with know that God loves them and so do we. You will be reminded often of our need to be intentional in discipling our children and families thru serving as God’s Distribution Center of the Gospel together.
That includes serving in our neighborhood … workplace … schools … sports teams … locally w/ Ministry Partnerships … and YES, even stamping a Passport every 3 years in the name of Jesus.

Snack-Pack 4 Kids Ministry Team
Ed & Amy Shannon are leading our Ministry Team and Partnership w/ Wetmore, Northern Hills, AND Fox Run Elementary Schools. This teams serves on Thursday night (at Wetmore & Fox Run) & Friday morning (at Northern Hills), and delivery takes 30-45 minutes total.
What a powerful ministry to feed just under 200 children for the weekend every single week as a Team, and you only serve one Thursday/Friday every 8 weeks or so.
