After five years worshipping and serving the community out of the Lillian Jones Recreation Center, the Church of Christ in Sandtown now has a new home! Church leadership has acquired a building in the Sandtown/Harlem Park community -- a home base where we can worship and study, conduct community outreach, and implement free programming for the community. We are so blessed and grateful to God for providing what is needed.

Several months of renovations will be required before we can begin using the building, and we are calling on the brotherhood to support these efforts.

The Church of Christ in Sandtown (501(c)3) is not just a church – it is a mission of community outreach and service! Even without a permanent worship and outreach center, this small congregation has been able to implement its mission to aid the communities of Sandtown-Winchester and Harlem Park with:  

• Backpacks and school supplies 
• College preparation and career guidance 
• Community clean-ups 
• Face masks and other protective gear  
• Food and clothing ​Job placements 
• Mental and physical health information and screenings
