Celebrating Heritage


CHHSM members are part of a faith and a mission that is much bigger than any of us — a passion-driven movement that stretches back several hundred years. We delight in our common background and historic dedication to service.

Through our Digging Deeper initiative, United Church of Christ covenantal connection, our annual meeting and other events, we help members preserve and harness the power of our faith heritage. By tapping into our historic purpose, we can more clearly understand our present mission and goals for tomorrow.
