Emerald City Commons (ECC) opened in 2013 and serves 61 low income families. UI provides an after-school program and welcomes volunteers to help tutor children in grades 1-8. "Fun Fridays" are opportunities to provide special enrichment such as art and science projects, field trips, and movie days. Snack donations are also greatly appreciated!

To combat summer learning loss, we host a 6-8 week academic day camp for neighborhood children. Typically on site between the church and Emerald City Commons, we provide fun and engaging children’s programming which includes academic enrichment, special projects and field trips. Leadership development through youth internships is another main focus.

Monthly gatherings are offered to ECC Residents and neighborhood residents to show God's love through building community, providing mutual encouragement, and distributing supplies to meet basic needs. These events often center around holidays and cultural celebrations.

ECBF reaches out to 63 homes in our immediate neighborhood. The vision is to build community and invite our neighbors to connect with the church. We do this through making connections, building relationships, and providing essential relief supplies, food, and financial support.
