LETTER FROM OUR LEADER

Hi Friend,

Thank you for visiting our website and taking the time to learn more about who we are!

Here at CITY MISSION, we believe that Jesus passionately and unconditionally loves Waterbury and the people of our region. This is at the very core of our vision. And when we look at the Gospel, we see Christ’s abundant love demonstrated through feeding the hungry, sheltering the homeless, healing the sick, uplifting the lowly, serving the needy, and sharing the love of God with everyone. Faith and works equally balanced.

Our team is comprised of individuals and families who feel the same way about our City and its people. We want to use our education, experiences, passion, and giftings to benefit Waterbury. We love its rich industrious history, hard-working families and individuals, beautiful landscape, and business & government infrastructure. And while our City has many challenges to overcome, we believe we can do our part to serve its people, help change lives for the better, and promote long-lasting transformation in our communities.

I hope you’ll consider getting involved and supporting CITY MISSION. We’d love your help!

In His Service,

- Troy Gonda | Pastor / Executive Director

Serve People. Change Lives. Transform our City.
