Mission & Outreach
Local Outreach
Participate in the work that God has given us to do here in our neighborhoods. We mobilize the resources of our church annually through drives and donations, volunteers, and outside organizations that serve the needs of our community. You can get involved in numerous ways to share the love and ministry of Christ, simply by reaching out to our staff.
Global Mission
Jesus calls his followers to make disciples of all nations. We work to build up the worldwide church and to mobilize the people and resources of our local parish to respond. Christ Church partners with Anglican provinces and missional organizations around the globe, contributing a large portion of our annual budget to the work of leadership development and international relief.
Local Outreach
Annual Outreach Events
Kids in Need
During the season of Advent, we collect non-perishable food items to support God’s Pantry, a local ministry that provides groceries and essentials to hundreds of families in need each month across Collin County.
Operation Christmas Child
Operation Christmas Child shows God’s love in a tangible way to children in need around the world. At back to school, Christ Church packs shoeboxes filled with gifts and an invitation to hear the good news of Jesus Christ. These boxes are collected and distributed worldwide by Samaritan’s Purse.
Thanksgiving Outreach
Each Thanksgiving Christ Church, working with local agencies, collects food for the needy in our community. This involves a large number of people, from the monetary donors to the volunteers who sort and distribute the food to the folks who coordinate the entire event.
Ministry Partners
Christ Church’s social service partners have a proven track record of effective service. We encourage our community to contribute their time and talents to our partner agencies. Please note that while we support these organizations, they are not Christ Church affiliated.

The M25 Initiative is an Anglican outreach that supports national compassion and mercy ministries, fulfilling the biblical call to love the least of these.

A Legacy for Rwanda
Since 2019, Christ Church has partnered with Compassion International and Province of Rwanda, where we are annually building preschools, churches, nutrition programs, and child sponsorships for rural villages. Our goal is to bless 1.2 million people in a geographic area barely larger than North Texas. As God calls us to be a church of compassion, Rwanda is a place where compassion is building an powerful legacy.
Education
Five preschools and three churches serving 750 families
Christ Church builds preschools and churches where families are isolated and 75% of Rwandan children lack educational opportunities. Attending school improves every aspect of a child’s life, keeping children safe and uplifting their future.
Nutrition
Daily nutrition programs serving 750 children
Christ Church has established multiple nutrition programs in conjunction with our rural preschools. One cup of enriched porridge provides a child with a daily supply of calories, vitamins, and nutrients, at an age when it is vital for their growth.
Compassion
Sponsorship support for over 300 children
