CLC has an active missions program for local as well as out-of-town ministries.  We have thirteen year-round ministries for Merced and the world.  We also have five seasonal ministries that include gift boxes for Samaritan's Child, gifts for children of local prisoners, a seasonal dinner for the homeless, "Rock da Block" parties for needy neighborhoods and Compassion International (where members adopt children in other countries with a monthly contribution).  The missions committee chairman is Bill Smith.
