mission and outreach
We take our purpose of blessing our community seriously, understanding community
as being local, national, and international. We support our mission partners with our own boots-on-the-ground involvement in, and financial support of, their work.
We also support the world-wide mission of the Presbyterian Church USA.

building beloved community
Inspired by the vision of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the Beloved Community is a place where injustice ends and love begins. According to The King Center, it is a society built on justice, peace, and harmony achieved through nonviolence.
Our church is partnering with Habitat for Humanity to build more than homes, together we are building bridges across differences. In a world that often feels divided, we are committed to creating the Beloved Community right here at home. We invite you to help build a community rooted in love and inclusion.
If you're ready to choose love over hate and build bridges across divides, we invite you to learn more about how you can get involved on our Building Beloved Community page.
working to end hunger
Central Longmont sponsors an annual funds drive for The Round Pantry at Westview to help alleviate hunger in our community. The Round Pantry is a food bank for anyone needing food assistance that operates on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of each month. Many of our members also love to volunteer each Pantry week. It is easy to find Central Longmont friends helping at The Round Pantry. To volunteer, please click here to access their volunteer sign-up.
Each fall, our congregation fields a team and raises funds for the Boulder County CROP Hunger Walk. The walk takes place every October as a part of a nationwide effort to raise funds to help alleviate hunger and poverty here in Boulder County, the United States and around the world.
supporting childhood education
Columbine Elementary School is Central Longmont’s neighborhood school. We partner with
Columbine to provide support through reading mentors with the Read and Swing Circle and
volunteers for special events such as an annual Career Day. Our Boots for Columbine program
acquires snow boots for students identified by school staff as being in particular need of them. Get involved with these wonderful outreach opportunities!
working to restore god's creation
According to the Earth Care Pledge we make as an Earth Care congregation, "God calls us to be careful, humble stewards of this earth, and to protect and restore it for its own sake, and for the future use and enjoyment of the human family." We strive to live this pledge through education programs, our commitment to lowering our carbon footprint, and outreach to help restore God's damaged world. To learn more, please see the Earth Care Central page.
loving our neighbor
In 2019, Central Longmont established
Recovery Café Longmont as a stand-alone 501c3 non-profit to be a community of refuge and healing for people in recovery. RCL supports individuals as they rebuild their lives and break the cycle of addiction or overcome a recent stress or trauma. RCL strives to stand in the gap between crisis and stability by fostering community-building and life-empowerment. Many Central Longmont members volunteer in the Café and/or donate home-cooked meals for the Café’s daily communal lunches.
