As members of the Body of Christ, we are called to offer up our gifts in service of God and our neighbors. Church of the Resurrection provides a variety of ministries to meet the needs of the parish and the community. Below is a selection of some of our key ministries.

Outreach
We seek to make ourselves available in the greater community by meeting social, physical and spiritual needs and by participating in acts of charity. We make available resources for the congregation and visitors.

As the Body of Christ, the Church is to incarnate Christ’s love for all. We are not called to hunker down and look out for our own, but to be salt and light in a dark and mundane world. Church of the Resurrection seeks to provide, via its Outreach Ministry, opportunities to be a witness for Christ’s love “to the ends of the earth.” By providing education through our Library, coordinating activities with other Christian bodies and service projects, COTR furthers Christ’s love to those who need to feel it.

Classical Christian Education
At Church of the Resurrection, we place a high value on education. It is our belief that by solidly grounding people, especially young people, in the Catholic Faith and a Classical academic education, they will be equipped to live productive lives as Catholic Christians.

To that end, we are in the opening stages of establishing an educational institution that equips young people for life in the world with a Classical education. At the same time, we will work to ensure that they are rooted in the richness of Catholic Christianity. The institution should enrich the parish community, visitors, catechumens and inquirers with the Catholic Faith.

Small Groups
Small groups are central to our ministry strategy. All members of COTR are invited to participate in small groups, hosted in homes.

Our small groups serve a variety of purposes. Members of each group keep in close contact with each other, looking after each other in times of need. Each group meets regularly for study of the Faith and for the edification of its members. They serve as local points of outreach to the community. Each group is also mission-minded: Members are encouraged to bring friends to join the groups.

Pastoral Care
When members of COTR find themselves in need of spiritual care in extraordinary times, our pastoral staff is available to provide assurance and comfort. People find themselves in difficult situations all the time–a sickness that leaves them housebound, a sudden injury that requires a stay in the hospital, a spiritual wound that needs special attention. In all these cases, the pastoral staff provides a vital link between the community of believers and the person in need. They offer a comforting presence and the hope of Jesus Christ. They make the sacraments of unction available to the physically wounded. They are available to hear confessions in cases where serious spiritual counsel and amendment of life is necessary. They are Christ’s servants to the faithful in time of serious need.
