Campaign Funding Goal: $3,500
Episcopal Community Services needs your support! The Mission of Episcopal Community Services of Northern California (ECS) is "Serving Christ by Serving others." The vision is to promote and aid in the development of programs of health and social ministries throughout the Episcopal Diocese of Northern California. One way that ECS does this is through making grants. Over the last 10 years alone, ECS granted about $300,000 to various congregations. In addition, ECS has administered TEC's Jubilee Program and in 2021 instituted Bishop Megan's Transformer Award which is designed to recognize congregations that are working to transform their Community for Christ.
ECS's goal is to support, empower, and equip congregations that transform communities for Christ. ECS has board members in every deanery that are available to: brainstorm with congregations on where their desires and skills intersect, help congregations initiate transforming ministry, coach during the initial set up, mentor throughout, support and enhance existing ministry.
How will funds raised from the appeal help?
100% of the appeal funds will be distributed within the diocese for social justice and humanitarian projects. 100% of donations go toward grants for congregations striving to transform their communities and bring the love of Christ into their neighborhoods.
