"God, the Eternal Creator, weeps for the poor, displaced, mistreated, and diseased of the world because of their unnecessary suffering. Such conditions are not God’s will. Open your ears to hear the pleading of mothers and fathers in all nations who desperately seek a future of hope for their children. Do not turn away from them. For in their welfare resides your welfare." D&C 163:4a |

In addition to our tithes which fund the Topeka Congregation, Midlands Mission Center and Community of Christ World Church operations, programs and missions, we strive to abolish poverty and end suffering as we:
partner with all Community of Christ congregations and give a special (oblation) offering, the first Sunday of each month, specifically for Community of Christ Abolish Poverty, End Suffering Ministry;
collect a special Pennies for Africa Offering, the third Sunday of each month, for Community of Christ Africa Mission Centers. If we each give but a small part of our material blessings, it can add up! Over the past twenty years, we have given over twenty thousand dollars through this special offering;
provide financial support from our congregational operating budget and partner with other churches and organizations in our community to provide financial, food, clothing, personal care supplies and volunteer assistance in support of Doorstep of Topeka. Doorstep helps our neighbors survive crises, improve their way of life and become self sufficient. For information regarding our current initiatives to support Doorstep, please see the "Activities" section of this website or contact Ruth Van Fossen.
provide financial support from our congregational operating budget and participate in special fundraising activities to raise finds for abolish poverty and end suffering ministries provided by Outreach International.
