We understand our church as a mission partner with God. We have experienced God's love and compassion in our lives and we feel God calling us to share that love and compassion with others. Our church's mission programming allows us to use our gifts to play a part in God's mission. 

The Colts Neck Reformed Church partners with many organizations through volunteer participation, donations, and support services. These organizations are located locally, regionally/nationally, and internationally. Our partners include ministries, organizations, missionaries, and educational organizations that we support financially. 

Colts Neck Reformed Church also participates in several hands-on mission events (see below) through the year including a Christmas Gift Program, CROP Walk, Election Day Events, Mission Trips for adults and youth, Open Door Food Pantry, Pedals for Progress, Family Promise, Blood Drives, and a Community Outreach Supper.  We also send small mission teams when there is a need.  We have sent teams to South India, to Niger, and to Uganda.

If you are looking for a community that can help you put the love of God into action you have found the right place. 

Election Day is a big day at the Colts Neck Reformed Church. Every year, on the first Tuesday after the first Sunday in November, our church community mobilizes for a spectacular day of food and fun. We have what we call our "Election Day Events," which include a Christmas Craft Bazaar, a delicious take-out lasagna meal which includes a generous serving of home-made lasagna (meat or vegetable—you choose), a salad with your choice of dressing, a dinner roll, and a dessert of your choosing.  You can pick up your meal at lunch time or dinner time.  Dozens upon dozens of people participate in making these events happen, which makes this our biggest volunteer opportunity every year. The proceeds from the bazaar, lunch, and dinner are donated to our annual "benevolence budget," from which our church supports our mission partners here in New Jersey and around the world. These events, which take four days of preparation, execution, and clean-up are a great way for new members to get involved and grow relationships with other members of the congregation. 

Every year members of our church engage in short term mission trips. Typically our youth serve for a week in the summer. They have traveled to many different locations throughout the United States including Chicago, Il, Philadelphia, PA, New Orleans, LA, and Compton, CA. They have served at summer camps, they have done disaster recovery work, and they participated in urban renewal projects.

Our adults also plan and participate in week-long mission endeavors as well - some are coed trips - others may focus on women or men only. In recent years we have traveled to such places as Prattsville, NY to help with rebuilding following devastation from Hurricane Irene, worked locally in Union Beach, NJ with clean-up and rebuilding efforts following Superstorm Sandy, combining our efforts with a church in Freehold to build a house for Habitat for Humanity - over a two week period, an overnight trip to a summer camp needing help with its cabins, and the list goes on. 

These trips allow us to have an impact in God's world; they allow us to learn about the situations of others; and they help us to build bonds between our fellow participants.
