Our Diocesan Outreach Committee

Our Outreach Committee is called to represent the love of Christ to those in human need through the allocation of funds to support individual and communal health and growth. Grants are made to nonprofit groups which are not funded through the regular diocesan budget process.

For years our diocese has enjoyed a relationship with the Province of the Episcopal Church of Sudan. Most of that time, we relied on the ministry of our missionary, the Rev. Marc Nikkel . After Marc's untimely death in 2000, we cast about for new ways to express our solidarity with persecuted Christians in Sudan.
