Outreach

At the Episcopal Church of the Resurrection, we’re committed to spreading love, support, and helping to feed the hungry in our community. Explore our outreach offerings and discover how we’re making a difference in Starkville.

Supporting the Local Poor:

Our church actively engages in various initiatives to support the local poor and vulnerable members of our community. From food drives to clothing donations, we are dedicated to making a positive impact where it’s needed most. Through funded discretionary support, our clergy assist hundreds with food, rent, utility assistance, and other needs. We work with the unhoused to find shelter, and we are home to a tiny community pantry and allows for donations to be given and received 24/7

Casserole Kitchen:

We are proud hosts of this ecumenical feeding ministry. Thanks to the generous volunteers from 17 different local churches, we are able to serve 50-60 people three times a week out of our parish hall. A hot meal is available for anyone who wishes to eat. We serve dinner at 6pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and lunch at 11am on Saturdays.

Local Ministries Beyond Our Church:

Our outreach efforts extend beyond our church walls. We collaborate with local ministries to amplify our impact. By working in partnership with other faith-based and community organizations, we aim to address the diverse needs of our community and spread love to every corner of Starkville.

Oktoberfest:

One of our most beloved traditions is Oktoberfest, an event that brings our community together for a festive celebration with a purpose. Oktoberfest is not just about good food, music, and fun; it’s also an opportunity for us to raise funds for our outreach programs. The proceeds from Oktoberfest go directly to supporting the less fortunate in our community and helping local ministries in their mission.

By attending Oktoberfest, you’re not only enjoying a wonderful time with friends and family but also actively contributing to the betterment of our community. It’s a day of joy, unity, and purpose.

 

We invite you to be a part of our outreach initiatives at the Episcopal Church of the Resurrection. Your involvement and support make a tremendous difference in the lives of those in need in Starkville, MS. Join us in spreading love and hope throughout our community.
