Mission Commission


He has told you, O mortal, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God? (Micah 6:8)

The Mission Commission seeks to build God’s Kingdom in this time and place. Through gifts of talent and treasure, we support missions throughout our world. We also seek to reach out to members of our own community to provide support and care. Our commission members seek to preserve and enhance the blessings of this earth and ALL of its people. Through networking within our community and with outside groups who share a common vision, we address the issues of hunger, oppression, poverty, homelessness, discrimination on the basis of sexuality, substance abuse, and the pain of illness or loss of a loved one. Our central purpose is to provide care for the vulnerable among us.

  • Mission

    A joint program of PCUSA World Mission and Presbyterian Women, the Mother’s Day Project is a simple and meaning mission activity that Presbyterians have supported since 2001. This year the program is being broadened from a prior focus on poor African countries to include other countries around the world where Presbyterians work with partner churches helping families struggling in poverty. The program is also transitioning from a focus on health services to include initiatives to empower women and children such as literacy training, primary and secondary education, non-formal education and women’s leadership development. Mother’s Day is May 12 and cards will be made available on Sundays prior to that. Watch for a table set up in the Gathering Space.
