The History of Home Moravian Church in Winston-Salem, NC

Just as we believe in serving our community through our work in local agencies, we also serve through the work of committees and groups within our congregation.  These groups organize many opportunities for members and friends of our congregation to support one another and the world beyond the church’s doorstep.  Please contact the church office or one of the pastors if you see a place where you’d like to get more involved.

Congregational Care formulates and implements strategies for developing a corps of volunteers who take special roles in providing care to members and friends when special needs arise.  They reach out to offer care in many ways, please see the Congregational Care page for more information.

World Mission plans and coordinates the involvement of our members in projects and activities concerning Moravian missions, assists in communicating information about new or ongoing projects, and plans for the recruiting of members to be involved in these endeavors.

Overseas Missions: In addition to support of a worldwide denominational program, Home Church has sponsored volunteer efforts in Alaska, Tanzania, Nicaragua, Honduras, and elsewhere.  Short term international and US volunteer opportunities are available for young people and adults through the Board of World Mission.  Home Church has a sister congregation in Belfast, Northern Ireland: the University Road Moravian Church.

Social Concerns chooses specific areas of concern for Home Church to reach out and provide services to meet our community’s needs.

World Hunger & Global Concerns promotes efforts to educate the congregation about worldwide concerns, including hunger and poverty.  It offers the congregation opportunities to respond to these problems in concrete ways. 

CROP Walk, a community hunger education and fund raising event, occurs every October.  Volunteers may walk or sponsor walkers in this event sponsored by Church World Service, an international and ecumenical relief, development and refugee resettlement agency; 25% of funds raised goes to local community service.

The 2 Cents-a-Meal program offers Home Church members and friends a chance to give 2 cents a meal for direct assistance to hungry people through qualified agencies.

Bread for the World is a Christian citizen’s movement to support national policies that will meet the immediate needs of hungry people and address the problems and situations that cause hunger.  Home Church is a Covenant Church of Bread for the World, pledged to keep the congregation aware of hunger issues and to offer avenues to address these issues.

Evangelism & Discipleship provides ways to invite and welcome prospective members, coordinates reception and assimilation of new members, and oversees radio broadcasts and advertising.

Church Family Life provides opportunities for the church family to experience fellowship, Christian growth, and self-reflection.  Also seeks to provide resources for helping family units nurture one another and be nurtured in the faith.

Stewardship develops a program to insure that each member of the congregation has the opportunity to commit his or her time, talent, and treasure to the Lord’s work on an individual basis.
