Global Partners

With Global Partners we commit ourselves to a shared life in Christ and to an ecumenical global sharing of resources and prophetic vision of a just and peaceful world order, joining with God’s concern for the poor and oppressed. As a congregation we are connected through specific partnerships with international organizations, but work primarily through the Global Ministries of the Christian Church, and the Week of Compassion.

Overseas Missions

Heart of the Rockies has supported many of our members and friends as Global mission volunteers – from youth building homes in Mexico and an adult home building trip with Habitat in Jordan, to work in the Dominican Republic and in Palestine.

Betty and Dale Schwicker were our congregation's first Mission Partners appointed by the Common Board of Global Ministries, a joint ministry of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and the United Church of Christ. The Schwickers were called to four-year ministries at the YMCA's Rehabilitation Program in Beit Sahour, a village just outside of Bethlehem in the occupied territory of the West Bank in Palestine, but were evacuated at the start of the Second Intafada (uprising).

Two of our members continue to travel regularly to Palestine to train mental health therapists in the mental health protocol that treats the effects of trauma.
