The Community Mission & Community Mission Christian Center and School

OUR MISSION:
OUR MIISSION IS TO LEAD PEOPLE TO BECOME LIFE LONG FOLLOWERS OF JESUS.(MATTHEW 28)
OUR VISION:
THE VISION OF THE COMMUNITY MISSION IS TO LIVE THE LIFE JESUS CREATED US FOR AND SHARE THAT LIFE WITH OTHERS, SO THAT WE MIGHT BECOME AGENTS OF CHANGE IN OUR WORLD.
The Community Mission has been helping people in Schuylkill County for over 4 years. We have been doing this by working with existing churches, organizations and businesses to address needs as they arise. We have developed a grassroots initiative guided by collaboration and community needs. The results are highly functional local systems that serve the common good. The approach includes addressing the holistic needs of a community; supporting sustainability, coordinating collaborative action, and tapping into the power of community.
The Community Mission provides Family Services that include: Pastoral Counseling, Education, food and clothing distribution, fellowship focused on building strong and influential families. We do this through our weekly bible studies, community meals and privately through individual and group counseling and activities. Our weekly bible studies will include: New Believers Bible Studies and studies to help every Believer grow to their fullest. We also focus on helping Christians who are struggling with their faith by offering a year- long discipleship program that includes daily/weekly mentoring. Our food and clothing pantries are open daily (by appointment) to provide for personal needs as they arise.
Our new Center in Minersville, PA will allow us to meet all of our ministry goals under one roof. We will have expanded room for our pantries and functions, like revival meetings and community dinners. We will offer Religious Education for the whole family including, private Christian Education using Accelerated Christian Education (A.C.E.) in both homeschooling and on site instruction.

We are the County’s only testing center for this instruction. We also offer an online Bible School through Jacksonville Theological Seminary.

Mission Statement

Recognizing that God has blessed us to be a blessing, the Community Mission Food Pantry serves as a vehicle to share the overwhelming abundance God has showered on us with those in need in our community. Emergency food is shared with love and respect to those who come for assistance. It is our intention that they receive not only food for their physical hunger, but generous portions of kindness and grace to feed their spiritual and emotional hungers.
We believe the words of Jesus that this is one way we can respond directly to God's love for us: "For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in." Matthew 25:35
