Ecumenism

Chalice Christian Church seeks to promote ecumenical relationships by working in partnership with our Ecumenical Partner, the United Church of Christ, with the other member churches of the newly created Churches Uniting in Christ, and with other interested churches. Following Disciples' polar star for church unity, we look for opportunities to relate and serve together in mission, ministry, and fellowship in order to honor the One Body of Christ.

Community Outreach

To facilitate our work in the community, Chalice Christian Church is a member of Peninsula Interfaith Action (PIA), a federation of over thirty congregations in San Mateo and Northern Santa Clara counties that builds relationships with people in our communities to address issues concerning them. Current efforts are focused on Affordable Housing and Health Care access.

Participation in PIA led to the establishment of Homework Central in partnership with two other congregations. Homework Central provides after school tutoring to 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders at three sites in North Central San Mateo. Chalice hosts a site at Martin Luther King, Jr. Center.

Chalice is also a supporting congregation in the creation and on-going operation of the Interfaith Hospitality Network (IHN), a program that hosts homeless families, a week at a time, in church buildings.

Chalice is proud of our ecumenical and community outreach efforts and is confident that God is working through us as we seek to be disciples of Jesus Christ bringing hope and healing in this way.
