The Outreach & Mission Board

Looking for the three Welcoming Statements in our constitution? Scroll down.

Who We Are & What We Do

The Outreach and Mission Board’s purpose is to reach beyond the walls of Plymouth in response to God’s call to create a new realm based on shalom – peace, justice and wholeness for all God’s people. The Board works with over a dozen ministry teams, which address a variety of issues and concerns, both locally and internationally. Each board member serves as a liaison with several of these teams, keeping the board informed about their work, their challenges, and their needs.  Much of the funding that comes to the board via the Plymouth budget is used to support the work of our teams directly or to support the Mission Partners with whom they are allied.  The O/M Ministry Teams, the face of Plymouth in the community, do much to raise awareness within the congregation and to work in partnership with neighbors near and far to make a difference … to realize a bit of God’s shalom. We are grateful for all we are able to do together!

IMAGINE! 2025 PROJECT
GRANT OPPORTUNITY

Picture
Following last year’s successful Imagine! Project grant award (witness the raised garden beds being constructed west of the sanctuary), the Plymouth Outreach and Mission Board is back again this year with an Imagine! 2025 Project grant!

Any existing O&M ministry team or group of church members wishing to form a ministry team is welcome to apply for a grant of up to $3,000 to be used for a project of their imagination.

The application period for this grant begins on July 15th and ends on September 30th, with the grant being awarded by October 30th. All the information needed to apply for the grant is contained in the invitation document (download here)!

We look forward to learning again the great ideas that our congregation can come up with to improve lives within our community and the world beyond.

Welcoming Statements

The following statements are in the Plymouth UCC Church Constitution:

Article V. Open and Affirming Declaration
The members of Plymouth Congregational United Church of Christ, Fort Collins, Colorado, affirm their belief that all persons are created by God and are equal in worth and dignity. We recognize, celebrate and give thanks for the many diverse gifts of God among us. We declare ourselves to be an Open and Affirming congregation, welcoming into full membership and participation in the Body of Christ persons of every race, language, age, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, ethnic origin, physical and mental ability, economic status and nationality. We joyously pledge ourselves to be an Open and Affirming congregation, providing a safe welcome for a diverse people.
 
Article VI. ­Peace with Justice Declaration
The members of Plymouth Congregational United Church of Christ, Fort Collins, Colorado, believe Jesus’ teachings call us to enact shalom, to live in wholeness, harmony, community well-being and with equal justice.  We affirm a process of justice-making and peace-making which encourages open dialogue, reconciliation, constructive change and nonviolence.  Therefore, we are called and committed to being a Peace with Justice Church in our worship, education, community life and outreach.  
 
Article VII. Immigrant Welcoming Congregation Declaration
The members of Plymouth Congregational United Church of Christ, Fort Collins, Colorado hear God’s Call to care for and welcome with compassion and justice the widowed, the orphaned and the alienated who are living in our community.  We follow Jesus, the Christ, who lives among the “least of these” in our communities. We affirm that each and every person is a Child of God welcome in the Realm of God’s Love.  Our refugee-immigrant ancestors fled persecution; upon arriving in Colorado they established the German Evangelical Congregational Church that laid the foundation for Plymouth Congregational UCC.   Therefore, Plymouth Congregational Church, United Church of Christ, Fort Collins, CO declares itself an “Immigrant Welcoming Congregation” to encourage the development of policies and activities within Plymouth UCC dedicated to facilitating respectful, compassionate welcome and inclusion of immigrants in our midst.
