Giv2

LIVE your faith, LOVE your community!

Giv² (Give Squared) is a CORPS of UCC youth & adults GIVING back to our communities in response to the GIFTS of God.  Together, we explore our faith through SERVICE & FELLOWSHIP

Giv2What is Giv2

Our name, "Give Squared," reflects the simple reality that faithful people have known for centuries: when we give, we also receive. We give our time and labor in the service of others, and in return we are blessed with gifts of gratitude, compassion, and wisdom. Our gifts of hospitality multiply exponentially when we work together to heal the world!

Giv2 reflects our CT Conference mission of interdependence.  Four or more local congregations covenant to form a Giv2 ‘chapter.’  Leadership responsibilities and resources are shared to offer four local service projects each year.

Giv2 is a great way for small congregations to unite in service and give their youth a large group experience.
