Resources & Tools

How We Use Your Gifts

Packanack Community Church is a member of the United Church of Christ, and a portion of gifts help the Special Mission Offerings. These gifts sponsor vital ministries that bring hope to people in the U.S. and around the world. Our church has identified four areas where critical human needs exist:

in places lacking health and educational resources and/or where disaster has struck
within systems of injustice which oppress daily life and opportunity
in the lives of church leaders without sufficient resources to live with dignity
in the nurture of youth and congregations just beginning their lives of faith

Packanack Community Church provides gifts to the following Special Mission Offerings:

Our Church’s Wider Mission:

Basic Support (OCSM Basic)

OCWM Basic support enables associations, conferences, the national setting, and some of our affiliated partners to continue providing the care and services that are vital to the United Church of Christ. OCWM Basic support is generally given at local churches, where the funds are then sent to their associations and conferences before being forwarded to the national offices in Cleveland. (Individual donors are encouraged to give through their local churches for Our Church’s Wider Mission Basic Support.
