Service
The constant challenge in this life is to put
faith into action. Service is key to Christian
living. As individuals and as a congregation, we
seek to serve the good purposes of God
revealed to us in the life and teachings of
Jesus. In short, we seek to serve in the good
name of Jesus and share good will in our
community.
In the 1970’s, the congregation became
concerned about senior housing for the poor.
After a community study was completed, we
applied for a grant from HUD to build a building for senior living. Thus, Heritage Towers of the
Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) was born. In 1979, a building was completed beside Big
Goose Creek, and residents moved into their new home in 1980. Today, we serve 75 homes at
Heritage Towers. We are one of the few Churches in the state of Wyoming to be involved in this
form of housing ministry, and, we are grateful
for our competent staff to carry out this good
work in our community.
Currently, we serve at Lunch Together/Soup
Kitchen, providing a week of meals to anyone
who is hungry or looking for friendship. Lunch
Together is an ecumenical ministry of eight
congregations and one service group serving
lunch five days a week. The goal is to make
sure no one goes hungry in Sheridan County.
We also operate a Thrift Store. The Thrift Store keeps us busy, sorting, repairing, and selling
products donated by the community for resale. It’s a challenging ministry, but a lot of fun!
We also help raise money for the Community
Homeless Shelter through Volunteers of
America and other community based ministries
that do good work for others.
Finally, we work ecumenically with the
Wyoming Association of Churches as well as our
Disciples of Christ tradition. We know we
cannot do this good work alone. We count it a
privilege to work in cooperation with others in
serving Christ Jesus in our everyday world.
