Kirk Outreach & Mission Programs

Kirk Schools

Since 1961, the Kirk Schools have been a significant presence on the church grounds. Its 200 children, preschool through 5th grade, and their families, is our largest outreach program. The school occupies most of our buildings and campus during the week. We believe that living together peacefully in diversity is a skill sorely needed in our world, and one best taught to children beginning at a young age; therefore, our curriculum has a strong character formation element that includes a focus on the traits of respect, acceptance, compassion, and conflict resolution. Teaching these universal traits resonates well with our ethnically and religiously diverse families that make up our student body.
 

Project Linus

Project Linus is a Non-profit organization that collects homemade blankets and delivers them to children in hospitals. Currently, our members are crocheting blankets at home and we will have some in-person blanket-making sessions throughout the year.
 

Music Outreach

Our church has always had a strong musical presence. We are trying to share the talents of our members with people in the community. We are also allowing other groups to come and use our beautiful space for their recitals and events. Music has a way of bringing people together and we are happy to provide those opportunities.
