The Mission Committee
The mission committee educates the congregation about local and global needs and fosters putting faith into action serving others locally and around the world through participation in mission activities.
We also allocate resources to support a variety of mission projects
Our major One Great Hour of Sharing fundraiser each spring is a fun-filled evening that supports Presbyterian Disaster Assistance, the Presbyterian Hunger Program and Self-Development of People. All of these Presbyterian Church (USA) programs work in different ways to serve individuals and communities in need.
