Mission & Outreach
As an extension of the love of Christ, Mashpee Congregational is actively involved in working to improve the community and world around us. Mashpee Congregational Church offers a number of initiatives aimed that have direct impacts on the local Mashpee community. The Mission and Outreach Team seeks to optimize the use of two assets to make the world a better place: our financial assets (through our Compassion Fund); and our physical assets (through the power of volunteering).
Although outreach has been mostly financial in the COVID era, we have supported the following local charities:
Provides critical basic baby supplies to income eligible families (WIC) for infants up to age four on Cape Cod and the Islands. Approximately 500 babies are served every month.
An interfaith pastoral care mission which serves hospitals and nursing homes in the Upper Cape area and offers prayers, hope and comfort to patients and their families in their time of illness and recovery.
