Missions Ministry Board
Answering the Call
The goal of the Missions Team is to promote God’s love in the world through compassionate action. Join us as we participate in various missions, including community outreach, food pantry assistance, social justice initiatives, disaster response, and civil and human rights advocacy.
Community Food Support
Join us in making a meaningful impact on hunger insecurities in our area by supporting our two food support locations. The Mt. Sinai Congregational Church’s Island Heart Food Pantry, located in Middle Island, provides essential food services every Wednesday and Thursday. Over 10,000 individuals are helped each year at this valuable mission location. In addition, we operate an Emergency Food Cupboard in our church, assisting clients on alternate Tuesdays at the church.
Reach out to us for aid or to contribute donations that truly make a difference in our community's well-being.
Community Well-being
Activities include gathering school supplies for local students and winterwear for adults and children and toy drives. Our Crafters knit and crochet blankets, shawls and hats for SBU Hospital patients, including babies in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Mt. Sinai Congregational Church also supports the Sunshine Alternative High School and Prevention Center, which provides programs for at-risk youth and their families.
Justice: Advocacy and Action
Stand with our Justice Team as we tackle critical civil and human rights issues and participate in initiatives promoting Open and Affirming actions. Be part of impactful solidarity events, engaging discussions, and passionate advocacy efforts aimed at creating a fairer and more inclusive society. Activities have included advocating for Gender Violence Prevention and Gun Violence Prevention, support for LGBTQ+ organizations and support for Suffolk County Police Outreach programs for seniors, children, and Narcan training to help save a life endangered by drug incidents.
Wider Church Team: Global Outreach
Make a global impact through our Wider Church Team! Contribute to vital missions and justice initiatives by supporting causes like the Christmas Fund, Neighbors in Need, Strengthen the Church and One Great Hour of Sharing. Join our Five for Five Church mission and become a force for positive change worldwide. In addition, we have provided support to other organizations providing food, disaster relief, and jobs for people worldwide, including Bread for the World, Church World Services, and Soles 4 Soles, an organization that collects used footwear for people in disaster areas.
