Church Community
Why We Serve

As followers of Christ, we are called to respond to God’s love by serving those in need. This can be as simple as sharing a kind word or as complex as repairing a home. Whatever your skills, time availability or resources, there is a place at HRC for you to make a difference, and to connect with people in a meaningful way.
