Community Ministry & Social Service Resources

As much as possible, St. Paul's tries to work with local social service agencies to provide support to people in need both within our congregation and the community. We do this through direct support, partnerships, referrals, and supplemental service provision.

Here are a number of resources you can check out if you are in need:

PARTNERSHIPS
We are members of both the Windham Area Interfaith Ministries (WAIM) and the Manchester area Conference of Churches (MACC). Both agencies are on the frontlines of meeting the needs of under-resourced people in our community.

For more information about WAIM or to connect with their services, click here.

SUPPLEMENTAL SERVICES
To help bridge the gap between existing services and the needs of people in our community, St. Paul's Collegiate Church has established the JERICHO ROAD PROJECT (JRP).

JRP provides direct, short-term assistance in a variety of forms to people in need. Generally, assistance through JRP is limited, short-term, and meant to "stand in the gap" until people can be connected to other social service agencies specializing in support services and advocacy.

For information about JRP, email jrp[at]stpaulswired[dot]org.
