Creede Community Church, UCC
Mission Outreach
Creede Community Church emphasizes the “community” part of our name by focusing on local, regional, and national mission efforts, both financially and hands-on.
As a “5 for 5” congregation we also participate in the special mission offerings of the United Church of Christ.
Every once in a while, we have a mission dinner to raise money for a worthy cause. Dates vary, so watch for details.
