The Churches United for the Homeless Shelter is the only family homeless shelter in the Fargo/Moorhead area. On the first and third Sunday each month, we make the midday meal following our worship service. Also, on the fourth Saturday of every month, a Plymouth Meal Crew prepares and serves dinner at the shelter.
Financial and Prayer Support
Our Church's Wider Mission - We support the work of the United Church of Christ. Through this giving, we share our Christian Witness all over the world from summer camps to international disaster relief. This money is offered each year by our church family along with our constant prayers that God use it to share the joy of what we are discovering about the God we know in Jesus Christ.
Special Offerings - Each year we receive 5 special offerings to support particular ministries.
