The Ellesmere Port Parish Community Outreach Group (COG) commit to connect with and support others. We aim to develop community engagement, sharing the light and love of Jesus.
The aim of the COG is to go out to our community, in order to bring our community in. We see this as a flowing two way process, whereby the COG truly enacts the overarching church mission statement ‘Christ in the Centre of the Church, the Church in the Centre of the Community’.
Through our work we aim to:
- Reduce the impact of food and fuel poverty.
- Increase social engagement within the community via fun days and other groups.
- Provide pastoral support.
- Provide a safe and welcoming space for community members to attend.
- Partner with other agencies and network to increase support options for the community.
- Reduce the impact of period poverty.
- Fundraise and give to charity both locally, nationally and overseas.
- Share the light and love of Jesus through all of our initiatives.
