Engaging Our Community
“For I was hungry and you fed me. I was thirsty and you gave me drink. I was a stranger and you invited me in. I needed clothing and you clothed me. I was sick and you looked after me. I was in prison and you came to visit me.”

We fully embrace and welcome our friends in the LGBTQ+ community. As part of our Christian witness, we find it important to publicly stand in solidarity with our neighbors and work toward full inclusion both in our city and beyond.

St. Charles is a member of Together New Orleans and Together Louisiana, two interfaith networks of congregations and non-profits working to make our city and state better and more responsive to its citizens.

Together for Hope - Louisiana is a project, based in Lake Providence, LA, of the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship to address rural poverty and community development through GED and after school programs. St. Charles participates annually in the Back-to-School Backpack program providing school supplies to children in this severely impoverished community and also provides general financial support to the program.

Several St. Charles congregants have participated in Inter-Faith Undoing Racism workshops sponsored by Trinity Episcopal Church and facilitated by the People’s Institute for Justice and Beyond.
Currently, the congregation continues to support the work of the St. Charles Center for Faith + Action and their work around the criminal legal system and the impacts of systemic racism both in New Orleans and beyond.
