ECPAC MISSION STATEMENT

The mission of the Ecumenical Council Pasadena Area Congregations is to alleviate the effects of poverty, to encourage self sufficiency through the collective efforts of congregations, individuals and community organizations and to promote mutual support, understanding and collaboration within the faith community.

ECPAC has been involved in the Pasadena religious community since its inception. Some of our recent religious activities have been:

1. We participate with other clergy in the Black History Month parade.
2. We hold a very inspirational Community Ecumenical Good Friday service at a local church each year
3. We hold enjoyable clergy lunches with interesting speakers to promote collegiality and harmony among different denominations.
4. We serve as the faith based representative in local civic affairs. For example we have served as the coordinator of the Faith Based Committee for the 2010 Census.
5. We promote the work of Church Women United and led their spring worship service each year in the spring.
6. We join with community and church groups, such as the Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance (IMA), Clergy Community Coalition (CCC), and the All Saints' Creative Connections Program.

ECPAC has been involved in local community activities as well.

1. Member of the Housing and Homeless network.
2. Member of the Mayor’s Committee for the United Nations Human Rights Celebration.
3. Member of the Martin Luther King Art and Essay Contest Committee (in preparation for MLK celebrations).
4. Member of the Pasadena Executive Coalition.
5. Participant in the Pasadena CROP Walk for Hunger.

Vote passes! ECPAC congregations have voted to approve a change in the bylaws to expand ECPAC membership to include all faith based groups, to change the name of the organization to Ecumenical Council of Pasadena Area Congregations, and to bring in two new members congregations, Crescenta Valley United Methodist Church and Summit Evangelical Church. Thank you all for submitting your votes.
