Partners in mission
We work with other groups and organizations whose activities we believe makes a positive difference. One of the best ways to help a community is to empower an organization that already exists.
St. Matthews-Maryland Community Ministry 
In the heart of Winnipeg, the St. Matthews-Maryland Community Ministry 
offers programs to meet basic needs, provide self-help education and options, and work for social/political change. With a vision of healthy community where everyone experiences God's promise of abundant life for all, they strive to achieve the goals of community building and empowerment.
One of the many projects run at the Community Ministry is the community gardens . The St. Matthews' neighbourhood is home to two community gardens, located on McGee Street. Because the community has few spaces and yards are small, the gardens are an important way of reclaiming vacant lots and transforming them into beautiful community spaces. In the gardens, neighbours of all ages can meet each other, work together, learn and share gardening skills where participants learn to preserve the garden produce, and also learn new food handling and business skills while marketing their products.
The Oak Table Community Ministry
The Oak Table Community Ministry is an outreach ministry located at Augustine United Church in the Osborne Village area. Four days every week, the doors are opened to the community, providing a place for people to gather and get to know one another.
In addition to providing a means of building community, they offer other services, including art classes, seminars, and health clinics. Usually a light meal is also provided.
Project Peacemakers
Project Peacemakers is an affiliate of Project Ploughshares . This group works for peace from a faith perspective. Their main areas of concern are war and children, missile defence, peace education and sanctions.
Alpha House
Sometimes referred to as a shelter, Alpha House's mission is to provide protective, affordable, longer-term housing for women and children leaving abusive relationships. It also offers comprehensive emotional and practical support so residents can move toward an independent life in the community.
