Outreach
The hands and heart of Christ are present through our emphasis on caring for people, and seeking to be a place where there are no outcasts. Outreach is expressed through parishioners' time, talents, and financial support. We see Christ in all our interactions. Giving pervades all that we do as a church and as individual Christians.
The Outreach Committee directs and supports various projects to assist those in need. Activities are in place to support efforts designed to assist both individual and community programs. In addition, each of our activities is in direct alignment with the UN Millennium Development Goals. The Outreach committee also works to ensure that St. Christopher's allocates 0.7% of its budget toward the UN Millennium Development Goals as required by the Diocese.

Family Promise - Interfaith Hospitality Network
St. Christopher's is a member and Founding Partner 
of Family Promise of Greater Rockingham County. As a host congregation, we provide, meals, overnight shelter, and hospitality to homeless families here in our facility, for one week, four to five times per year. The families receive case management services to attain affordable housing and sustainable independence at the Family Promise Day Center in Derry. St. Christopher's volunteers prepare meals, stay overnight as hosts, engage in activities with the children, and most of all provide a sense of welcome and hospitality to our Family Promise guests. Hampstead Congregational Church is our support parish, providing volunteers and financial assistance. Volunteers are always welcome to lend a hand during our hosting week. A short training session is needed prior to volunteering. For more information contact St. Christopher's Host Coordinators Wayne or Peggy.
