Our Purpose is

to know Jesus and bless our community

Our Core Values (based on the words of Jesus Christ from the Sermon on the Mount - Matthew 5-7)

Shalom...we work for wholeness, peace, and justice for all people

Compassion...we extend mercy and understanding to all people

Grace...we forgive as God forgives us

Integrity...we live what we profess to believe

Community...we’re responsible for more than our own lives

God is at work at CENTRALongmont!

We are blessed to serve our community internationally, nationally, locally, and through support of the PC(USA). Our strategy is to provide support both financially and in creative hands-on ways that are meaningful and will make a difference in God’s Kingdom.

CENTRALongmont’s mission budget for 2018 is $45,000. However, several of our missions are supported through direct donations and do not use funds from the mission budget. The organizations and mission partners we support were chosen based on our Purpose and Core Values which were adopted by Session in March 2016.

This booklet will not only give you an overview of our mission support, but also provide ideas for getting involved. If you would like more information please do not hesitate to contact me.

SPECIAL OFFERINGS

One Great Hour of Sharing - This offering taken Palm Sunday enables the church to share God’s love with our neighbors-in-need around the

world by providing relief to those affected by natural disasters, provide food to the hungry, and helping to empower the poor and oppressed. (Presbyterian Disaster Assistance, Presbyterian Hunger Program, Self-Development of People)

Pentecost Offering - This offering taken on Pentecost Sunday helps the church encourage, develop, and support its young people, and also

address the needs of at-risk children. 40% of the Pentecost offering is retained by our congregation and is used to make an impact in the lives of young people within our own community. The remaining 60% is used to support ministries of the Presbyterian Mission Agency: (Young Adult Volunteers, Ministries for Youth. Children-at-Risk)

Peace & Global Witness Offering - This offering taken on World Communion Sunday (the 1st Sunday in October) enables the Presbyterian

church to promote the peace of Christ by addressing systems of injustice and allows us to strengthen peace-building efforts around the world bringing witness through Christ. Gifts to this account are designated to the Peacemaking Program. 25% of the offering is retained by our congregation and is used to sustain local peacemaking ministries.

Christmas Joy Offering - For more than 80 years, Presbyterians have given generously at Christmas to lift up those who’ve devoted their

lives to the mission of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). This offering is received the 4th Sunday of Advent and is shared equally by the Assistance Program of the Board of Pensions, which provides much-needed assistance to PC(USA) church workers and their families, and Presbyterian-affiliated racial ethnic schools and colleges, which enable students to develop their gifts and find their calling.

BHAG: Big Holy Audacious Goal

Every person in our community will experience the enrichment that God desires for creation.

Vivid Description of our Envisioned Future

It is a crisp and sunny fall day and the meeting room is humming with excitement, is buzzing with activity, and is bursting at the seams. Members, friends, and community partners of CENTRALongmont are having their annual gathering to celebrate the accomplishments of the past year and set goals for the next. So much of our vision has been achieved, and yet, there is still much to be done.

In our community kids can safely walk to school together and play until dark in the local park. Moms and Dads sit on porches in front of their warm and inviting homes after a day of fulfilling work, and speak to their neighbors by name on their evening strolls. Monthly block parties are a patchwork quilt of backgrounds, ages, religions, skin colors, and languages. Much of the delicious and healthy food was grown in neighborhood gardens. There is plenty to eat, everyone can afford to bring a dish for sharing, and the leftovers will be shared with others.

Our kids speak several languages fluently, and high school students have decided that next year they are going to offer to teach classes for older adults. All of our kids are in great schools and are excited about their possibilities and opportunities for the future. The wise elders in our community are regularly in our school classrooms to share stories about our history and heritage as a community. Everyone knows each other’s name.

Next year we will have to find a larger meeting space! There is excitement about the future. There are many ideas and projects, and many hands to do them.

People in our community have come to embrace, live, and be enriched by their unique God-given gifts and are eager to share them with others. The attitude of Ubuntu is understood and practiced.

The Holy Spirit is present!

CASA de PAZ

Casa de Paz (House of Peace) offers free lodging and meals to guests

visiting their loved ones held inside the immigrant detention center in

Colorado. They also host guests who have recently been released from

the detention center and need a place to stay as they make plans to

make their way back home.

Mission: Welcome immigrants affected by immigration

detention centers and provide basic help in transition to

their families.

Vision: Contribute to the peace and stability of

immigrants in the United States.

Values: Love, Unconditional Service, Justice, Honesty,

Respect, Inclusion

Several years ago Sarah Jackson, Executive Director of Casa de Paz, went

on a trip to the US/Mexico border with a humanitarian aid organization

working on immigration issues. She ended up in Agua Prieta, MX and met

with people from Frontera de Cristo. She spoke with people who had

been deported. She learned about people’s reasons for migrating, and

the dangers they face in doing so. She saw first-hand families being

separated. She returned to Colorado but couldn’t return to her normal

life after this experience. She decided to do something about it because

she believes families should be together. So she opened Casa de Paz.

Casa de Paz began in 2012 as a small, one-bedroom apartment offering

hospitality to people affected by immigrant detention. Their work has

always been to host families whose loved ones are being detained and

individuals who have been recently released. In 2017 they moved into a

larger, rented house with more space so they would not have to turn

people away. Today, Casa de Paz provides visits and emotional support;

shelter and meals; and access to phones, WiFi, and computers; and

- 6 -

transportation. Detention is a difficult time that tears families apart and

creates a financial burden, so they have always offered their services free

of cost. Since they first opened their doors they’ve hosted over 1,090

immigrants and the need only continues to grow. Sarah’s hope and

prayer is to help end the isolating experience of immigrant detention,

one simple act of love at a time.

LATINO MINISTRY

A 1001 New Worshiping Communities Fellowship. The

Latino Ministry began as a conversation among several

Latino families and CENTRALongmont members who

have a heart for the growing Latino population in

Longmont. Their vision is a reflection of the following

core values:

• Strong Christian families

• Ensuring new believers are discipled

• Raising Christian leaders

• Growth in numbers and maturity

• Community involvement – political and service

• Multicultural unity

• Serving the immigrant community

The form of church this new ministry is providing is very different from

traditional Presbyterian ways of

doing church. The

CENTRALongmont Latino Ministry

is committed to creating a

worshipping community that has

an impact on our world. We want

to serve our new immigrant

population and be a community

that welcomes new immigrants and

trains them to be involved in the larger community.

BIKES FOR HOPE

Thanks to a partnership between local businesses and cycling enthusiasts

in our community, HOPE is able to distribute bicycles to clients with a

demonstrated need. We accept donations of bicycles and bike parts, then

volunteer bike mechanics refurbish the bicycles and add important

features like lights and luggage racks so that each bicycle given to a HOPE

client is reliable and safe. Having a bicycle helps people experiencing

homelessness meet a vital need for transportation, which is an

empowering step towards self-sufficiency.

SEARCH & SAVE

HOPE’s nightly Search & Save mobile outreach service operates seven

nights a week, 365 nights per year and is designed to engage with people

experiencing homelessness at a deeper level. This work establishes

supportive relationships and increases the chances that individuals will

access the array of programs to help them move off the streets and into

housing.

SOUP ANGELS

The soup angel program began in September 2007, with one volunteer

providing 20 meals per night. By the end of that year, the program had

tripled. Currently, we are serving 100+ each night, and to date, more than

185,000 nighttime meals have been served to people experiencing, and at

-risk of, homelessness, in Longmont. The meals are delicious and

nutritious, but as important as the food is, the simple reminder that

someone cares is what the people we serve tell us matters most.

CAFÉ JUSTO

Café Justo is a Grower-owned Coffee Cooperative

based in southern Chiapas, Mexico, formed to address

the poverty and migration from Mexico to the US.

Café Justo is made from 100% Arabica, Robusta and

Marago beans which are organically grown in Chiapas. The coffee trees

are cultivated beneath shade trees which allows for a better tasting, more

environmentally friendly coffee. The coffee is roasted in Agua Prieta,

Sonora, Mexico.

The single most powerful reason that young male Mexicans leave the

home they love is that they need money to support their families. The

dynamic of Café Justo is simple: when the coffee farming community can

sustain itself on the price growers receive for their coffee, there is no

mass exodus of people from the land. By allowing co-op members to stay

home and earn a "just wage," Café Justo addresses the double tragedies

of families split apart by migration to the United States and of migrants

dying in the desert trying to get here. CONTACT:

Boulder’s navigation services are offered by Bridge House. In Longmont,

HOPE and OUR Center are providing a collaborative service model: HOPE

provides nighttime navigation from 5:30pm – 7:30am and offers basic

needs services including meals, overnight sleeping space, showers, and

laundry for up to 50 people. Nighttime services will feature an expanded

version of last winter’s program with United Church of Christ joining the

continuing foundation laid by Journey and Heart of Longmont Churches.

OUR Center provides daytime navigation 8am – 5pm where clients work

with a case manager to develop a housing plan, receive assistance and

links to county and other community programs as needed.

As part of the new system, HOPE is adding a daytime street outreach

service to support the transition of nighttime outreach to a search and

save model, which is designed to engage people experiencing

homelessness at a deeper level. This incredibly important work

establishes supportive relationships and increases the chances that

individuals will access the array of programs to help them move off the

streets and into housing. Search and save volunteers connect vulnerable

individuals to services and provide emergency transportation to nighttime

navigation in severe weather.

EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE

Through its emergency assistance program, HOPE provides bus passes,

laundry vouchers, fills prescriptions and more, on a case by case basis.

This program offers medical respite to individuals released from hospitals

who have no indoor place to stay.

TRANSITIONAL STORAGE

Transitional storage provides a safe place for people to keep their

belongings as they work, seek employment, or attend classes and

appointments. Identified as a primary step toward self-sufficiency, the

opportunity to store belongings can be transformative.

STEP UP LONGMONT

The Step Up program pairs teams of community volunteers with

individuals experiencing homelessness. Teams from faith, community and

human services organizations, city government and businesses work with

individuals to help achieve self-sufficiency and build support systems.

• Community

We believe people share a desire and a duty to help each other.

We believe in the power of teamwork and collaboration.

We experience the cumulative value of consistent service.

• Encouragement

We know that with help and encouragement, a person can reclaim

his or her life.

We know the effort is worthy of our time, money and attention.

• Leadership

We educate community members on the nature and needs of the

homeless.

We gather resources and recruit volunteers.

We provide life sustaining support to the homeless in Longmont.

• Stewardship

We collaborate with others to avoid duplication of effort.

We manage resources efficiently, professionally and honorably.

We use people’s time wisely.

On October 1, 2017, Boulder County launched a new effort to address

homelessness. The Homeless Systems Collaborative is a joint effort

between government, nonprofits, the faith community and people with

lived experience to reduce homelessness in the community. This

innovative approach follows a national trend resulting in successful

housing outcomes and HOPE is a key stakeholder. In the past, homeless

services have been spread across a host of providers, with different

missions, strategies, and results. The new model improves coordination,

aligns resources, and measures success based on the attainment of

sustainable housing.

COORDINATED ENTRY

People seeking support will access all city and county homeless services

through the new Coordinated Entry (CE) system. CE features a

streamlined assessment process resulting in one of two paths: higher

need folks are directed to the housing-focused shelter at the Boulder

Shelter for the Homeless for long-term assistance; lower need individuals

are directed to a navigation site in Longmont or Boulder. Navigation is

intended to eliminate or reduce time in homeless services for those who

may be able to resolve their housing crisis with limited assistance.
