The mission of the Christian Activities Council is to serve and empower the poor, the disenfranchised, the stranger and persons with special needs while promoting social, economic and racial justice in the Hartford region. This has been the CAC’s calling since its founding in 1851.

Working in collaboration with its sponsoring urban and suburban congregations along with other partners, the CAC seeks to:

• Foster the development of empowering resources for those in need;

• Promote human equality and social justice;

• And work toward constructive reform by providing concrete, demonstrable models of compassionate engagement in the core city and the metropolitan region.
