Host Congregations

Host congregations serve as the foundation for Family Promise of Central Connecticut by becoming temporary homes to meet basic human needs for safe shelter, nourishment, and positive relationships with other people.

Houses of worship that serve as a Host Congregation provide our guest families with a clean and safe place to sleep for a week at a time. Our Host Congregations take turns receiving our guest families.

Each host congregation has a coordinator to head up the week when families stay at that particular congregation. The coordinator is the key individual who interacts with the clergy, volunteers, guests, and FPCC Volunteer Coordinator.

Volunteer support at each host congregation ranges from, but is not limited to, preparing one hot meal daily, interacting with guests during the evening, sleeping at the church over night with the families, Saturday activities planning, set up and break down of beds, and laundering linens after their host week.

Support Congregations

While host churches are responsible for enlisting volunteers to cover their host week, there are times when every day and every aspect of the week are not covered. This is where a support congregation comes into play.

Support congregations are those that may not have the facilities to house guests but still want to participate. They can provide volunteers to stay overnight at the host church, to prepare meals, or to set up and transport cots.

Support congregations can also provide volunteers to work at the FPCCT Day Center.
