C.O.S.T
Christians Organizing Spiritual Togetherness
Equipping Christians to serve and love one another through the promotion of God's good work.
What We Do
C.O.S.T is always seeking volunteers and new opportunities to respond to the needs of the greater community. If you have a heart to serve, there is a place for you here.
Who We Serve
C.O.S.T serves anyone in need across the greater Durham community — from families facing food insecurity to seniors in nursing homes, to families at the Ronald McDonald House walking through difficult medical seasons.
We believe the church is most visible when it shows up outside its walls — in neighborhoods, institutions, and everyday spaces — with the love and resources of God's people.
A ministry of presence
C.O.S.T doesn't wait for needs to come to the church — we go to where the need is. Every project, partnership, and act of service is a declaration that the Gospel is good news for the whole person.
