Twice weekly Christ Church hosts Citizens Project, a program of Citizens Community Collaborative. Citizens Project was formed to address concerns of community disconnection among people in recovery who have experienced incarceration. It was developed collaboratively from the research of Michael Rowe, Madelon Baranoski, and people in recovery.

Today Citizens Project is a multi-part course focused on mutual learning and support for participants 18 and older in the greater New Haven area who have experienced mental health or substance use disorders as well as involvement with the criminal justice system.

Many participants have credited Citizens Project with re-launching their lives in community and their understanding of themselves.
