As the body of Christ, First Presbyterian Church’s mission programs seek to reach out to the community and to the world to care
for those in need.
The Deacons’ Outreach Committee is responsible for ministering to those who are in need, the
sick, the friendless, and to any who are in distress. This goal is accomplished by creating hands-on mission opportunities for the
congregation of First Presbyterian Church in the local community. Opportunities include the Boys and Girls Club tutoring program and Summer Café, neighborhood Easter egg hunt, Salvation Army Soup Kitchen, community garden,
CROP WALK, Habitat for Humanity, Angel Tree, and monthly collections for the
food pantry.
Green Envelope Sundays
On six Sundays throughout the year, the Deacons purposefully ask for support
through “Green Envelope” giving. Your “Green Envelope” gift supports the major portion of the Deacons’ annual budget, allowing us to fulfill the call to do God's work in the
community. If you cannot be at church to use the “Green Envelope” in the pew racks, simply write “Deacons’ Green Envelope” on the memo line of your check and send it to the church office. Throughout the year the Deacons ask for other donations and contributions as
well, the monthly Food Pantry, numerous special projects, Love Gift, mission
work, Advent Giving Tree, and the Boys and Girls Club. All of your gifts make a difference. Thank you for your “Green Envelope” gift!
