Our Community Partners
As people called, gathered, and sent by the Holy Spirit, Christ Lutheran Church makes community service a top priority.
Caring for God’s people and God’s world is a joy for us. We work with several groups to provide vital services in Monticello and Piatt County.
KIRBY DERBY WATER STATION
The Kirby Derby, put on by Monticello’s Kirby Hospital, is a great way to maintain a healthy and active lifestyle while having fun. Proceeds raised from this 5/10K go to the development of the Wellness Trail provided by the Kirby Foundation.
Our CLC crew loves to get out and support the runners at a water table stationed near Dairy Queen. Many people get dressed up and show their spirit with props and costumes. Way to go CLC!
Piatt County Ecumenical Food Pantry
The Piatt County Food Pantry, housed at the Monticello United Methodist Church, provides non-perishable foods and County Market vouchers for perishable items. The Food Pantry is an essential link to other assistance services, including the Community Action Partnership of Central Illinois.
Christ Lutheran Church supports the Food Pantry with frequent food drives, and the 1st Sunday of every month is designated as Food Pantry Sunday.
