The Manchester Church of the Brethren sees outreach in terms of providing support and assistance to those in need, working for peace and reconciliation, and striving to promote justice in the world. Our efforts range from supporting early childhood education in our local community to sending persons on disaster relief projects around the country. One particular focus of the congregation right now is working to support a Guatemalan family that is working through the US asylum process. We are a denominationally active congregation, supporting and participating in numerous Church of the Brethren projects and ministries.
