“One Mission”

The Mission of God is the One Mission which we serve at Christ Church. We understand everything we do to be in service to the Heavenly Father’s outreach to a dying world through the gift of his Son, Jesus Christ and the presence of the Holy Spirit. As part of that one mission we are called to serve, we partner with various agencies and ministries we believe do an excellent job of offering Christ right here in Lexington.

Neighbors Immigration Clinic

There were an estimated 50,000 undocumented immigrants in Kentucky in 2014 (1.1% of the state population). 56,157 people in Kentucky, including 22,262 born in the US, lived with at least one undocumented family member. Nearly 3,000 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival (DACA) recipients live in Kentucky. However, immigrants have little access to legal services to navigate the U.S. justice system because current legal clinics in Kentucky are either inaccessible due to cost or overloaded with clients.
We are excited to support our immigrant neighbors in Kentucky through Neighbors Immigration Clinic that provides low-cost legal services, specifically in Lexington, Eastern Kentucky, Northern Kentucky and beyond.
