Thank you for supporting our Haiti missions!


Christ Church Episcopal has a long-standing partnership with our brothers and sisters in Haiti. After the devastating earthquake in 2010, we answered the call to serve and so began a long and beautiful relationship with St. Marc Episcopal Church and the people of the town of Lilevois.

We've sent mission teams, provided financial support, offered them up in continuous prayer, sponsored village-wide VBS, and even hosted their leaders here in Glen Allen. 

Our most recent mission trip renewed our special relationships and inspired new ways to deepen our union and support our brothers and sisters in Haiti in ways that serve them best. 

Thanks to your faithful support, this year alone, funds from our Missions & Outreach ministries and the 2018 benefit concert were used... 
  • To help Haitians build a roof so the congregation at St Marc’s can worship more comfortably and the students can play and learn in the shade.
  • To fund 24 midwives for a year, educating moms on nutrition, childbirth and healthy babies.
  • To help pay teacher salaries so children can learn and grow into contributing members of their community.
  • To help the congregation celebrate their accomplishments in worship and fellowship at the Feast of St. Marc’s. 
Another mission trip is being planned for 2020. Prayerfully consider how you can serve. We invite you to keep up with the story by joining the Haiti Partnership Interest Group in Realm, our online community, or by contacting lay leader Penny Sellers.
