Luke 6:38 "Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over,
will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."
At Christ the King, our Outreach activities have always been of prime importance to our church family. We take seriously the words of St. Paul in 1 Cor. 10:31, “whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God”.
We have chosen opportunities to change the lives of those less fortunate in the local, national and international communities.

- Peninsula SPCA
- PAWS of Poquoson
