The vision and motto of Clairemont Christian Fellowship is "Serving Our Community". We participate in many local activities in which we "Show God's Love in a Practical Way". Some of those activities include:

• Distribution of over 1,000 smoke detector batteries to the immediate community each fall.
•  Free gift wrap services at the local Target store on four Saturdays before Christmas.
• A free Independence Day Carnival/Celebration with free games, food and entertainment on a Sunday close to July 4th.
• Giving out free drinks as a Coke-Pepsi Challenge at the annual Clairemont Family Days in the park.
• Free hamburgers and hot dogs along with free admission to the Clairemont pool.
• On Sunday April 27, 2008 Clairemont Christian Fellowship will participate with other churches around the nation in a program called Faith in Action. We will be going out into the neighborhood and doing service projects such as; a home makeover for someone in need, cleaning up a park area, painting a school class room, etc. This activity will be done on a Sunday. It will involve the entire church and the church will be closed that morning. The church body will be out working in the community instead of going to church. Imagine Pastor Jim with an empty church. That's okay since he will be out there working too.

Clairemont Christian Fellowship provides support for Will Rosenberg who is serving Youth With A Mission in New Zealand and leading mission teams in Europe and other locations. Will has had an opportunity to witness the Christian gospel to many people in various parts of the world and has learned what it really means to trust God for your next meal. Will is currently an instructor in the YWAM headquarters in New Zealand.

Greeting from Zimbabwe

August 5, 2008

Greetings pastor Jim:

     How are you Rev. James Hill and the church?   Thank you very much for the continued support from the United Methodist Church of North Clairemont during this dark hour in the history of the nation of Zimbabwe.  Life has been difficult and with the help that kept coming from you it had been a big relief.

     We thank you for your prayers for the nation of Zimbabwe and the people.  We are still faced with a terrible famine as food shortages which are acute.  We have to buy food across our borders and challenging issue is raising the foreign currency needed to buy food in South Africa.  The issue of food and medication has been the biggest threat to most Zimbabweans who are suffering from HIV/AIDS.  In Zimbabwe every one is not working and we are believing God for the talks that are taking place in South Africa between the political parties that something will come of it.

     I say again we need your prayers and we thank you for all the prayers that you have been praying for us.  The ministry is doing fine and we are seeing the hand of God everyday.  If it had not been the hand of God we wouldn’t be alive.  God is gracious.  We have been witnessing  people being healed from incurable illness and with the situation were there are no hospitals, many people had been coming to the Lord.

     I thank you very much, next week I want to go to South Africa to get food stuffs

Pastor Malitino

Clairemont Christian Fellowship arranged to paint the entire interior of their facility, raised money to assemble over 50 start up kits for newborns, provided 1,000 special Bibles and provided some additional financial support. We currently provide baby bottles to the congregation to collect their loose change to give to CAPS.
