Missions & Outreach

The LORD has told you, O mortal, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?”
~ Micah 6:8 ~

Our Mission
The Missions and Outreach Ministry of The Congregation at Duke Chapel assists, directs, and encourages our members to use our resources of prayer, time, talents, money, and influence to aid others who are in need of prayer, fellowship, food, or shelter. We seek to reflect God’s grace in Jesus Christ to those we encounter in need. Our hope is that our ministry efforts will foster reconciling relationships with individuals, communities, and God.

How We Accomplish Our Mission
The Missions and Outreach Ministry was organized in 1985 to provide opportunities for members of The Congregation to assist people in the Durham area who are in need of food, shelter, and support during a difficult time in their life. Over the years the program expanded in response to growing needs within the local, national, and world communities.

The Missions and Outreach Ministry is organized into five teams:

Local Missions
World Missions
Student Outreach
Special Initiatives
Prayer Ministry

This structure is designed to help members of The Congregation identify the available opportunities for service that match their gifts and interests. We invite you to explore the Missions and Outreach Ministry’s web pages to find the ministry that is right for you.
