At First Presbyterian Church, our Mission and Service ministry is guided by the PC(USA)’s Matthew 25 vision:
- Building congregational vitality,
- Dismantling structural racism,
- Eradicating systemic poverty.
We believe vital congregations are those who answer Jesus' call to not only care for those in need but also to join in God’s work of justice and transformation in the world.
Locally, we partner with organizations that provide food, shelter, and support to our neighbors, and we advocate for systemic change that addresses the root causes of poverty and inequality. Nationally and globally, we join hands with the wider church through mission partnerships and Presbyterian special offerings, responding to urgent crises and supporting sustainable development.
Together, we seek to live as a Matthew 25 church—embodying Christ’s love in action, standing with the vulnerable, and bearing witness to God’s kingdom of justice, peace, and hope.
