Reaching the World
The Church of the Roses partners with effective and meaningful organizations that we believe Jesus would support such as this one:
Man 2 Man - Urban Youth Advocate. Watch Rev. Dr. Stewart Perrilliat's interview on the KTVU Channel 2 show, "Talk of the Town" (aired on Nov 8, 2022). Man 2 Man-UYA helps men reach their full potential through personal development, professional enrichment and spiritual accountability.
Montgomery High School Breakfast Program
In our church we directly provide the Montgomery High School Breakfast Program which consists of a warm breakfast, smiling faces, and other assistance to any local student who comes to our door, free. This program was created at our church and has been operating for over 18 years - every school day.
No reservation required - just show up when you can and showing up once doesn't commit you to being there every day.
Giving Tree
Every year at Christmas, we have a Giving Tree project coordinated by the Deacons that provides a large box of food, fresh produce, a turkey, and presents for over 60 families in the Santa Rosa region.
Haiti Mission
In 2014 our church began organizing trips to Haiti under the leadership of Pastor Cindy Alloway and Kathryn Culver in partnership with the Foundation for Peace. A team of nine people traveled to the region of Ganthier, Haiti and built an aquaponic garden for the Hope House children’s home, and delivered 52 backpacks full of school supplies, and planted 72 Moringa trees for the CAD children’s home. We established a faith-based relationship with the Kwa Kok church and made many new friends. We hope to return every year.
Vacation Bible School (VBS) - Mini Day Camp
Check our June Calendar for this year's dates. Children ages 4-11 participate in music, crafts, skits, and games. The camp is at the beginning of June from 9am-12pm. Register now - $5 for the week per child or $25 maximum per family. No one is turned away.
Care
Deacons
The Deacons have developed “The Church Buddy” program to facilitate a ministry of empathy and caring while enhancing our communication network. Each Deacon has been assigned a group of church members to be their “Church Buddy”. They do not replace Pastor Cindy for pastoral care but offer another resource person in the church that can provide caring home visits, connect you with the church programs/activities, and has a list of supportive community resources.
