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 and interfaith through the Wyoming
Interfaith Network. We cannot do this work alone. We are blessed to share
faithful friendship with many people and receive God’s blessings too.
Come join the fun of serving.
