OUR MISSION CONNECTIONS

 

Generally, Deacons are local church and community, and Mission is local and beyond. Deacons are more focused on individuals and families locally, while the local Mission focus would be on institutions, like Presbyterian SeniorCare.

​

Our mission giving and involvement includes:

• We support the work of Dick Tafur in Peru in his ministry to community children and youth.

• Caribbean Youth Network

• Crestfield Camp and Conference Center - The Presbytery camp in Slippery Rock, PA

• East End Cooperative Ministries

• Garfield Community Farm

• Living in Liberty

• Presbyterian Disaster Assistance - The denomination’s response for world wide disasters

• Pittsburgh Presbytery General Mission

• Presbyterian Senior Care (Oakmont)

• Somali Bantu Support via Reach Across

• The Blessing Board (Pittsburgh and West Mifflin, PA)

• Verona Methodist Summer Fun Camp

• New Country New Life (NCNL) Refugee Support; and

• New & Emerging Opportunities

 

The ‘Mission Team’ is seeking to expand our mission awareness and involvement. Why not join them? Contact the church office to volunteer.
