Mission at FPC
Mission at First Presbyterian has increasingly attempted to heed these instructions of Jesus and to guide us also to be faithful and active members of the body of Christ. In addition to the links to the left, here are some of our activities:
Market for Mission: Once a year, we help artisans from around the world receive a just wage and help families receive needed assistance locally and abroad by hosting Market for Mission, an alternative gifts market. Help plan the event, staff the “gift store” counter, or sell fairly traded coffee. Or, shop 'til you drop! Visit the Market and purchase hand-made crafts as Christmas gifts or make a donation to a local or global mission agency in honor of a loved one.
Mission Trips: Travel with a mission team to one of several possible destinations domestic or abroad. Learn about needs in other areas of the country and the world while helping to meet some of those needs in limited ways during your stay. Recent teams have traveled to Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Honduras, Hungary, Mexico, and several domestic destinations, including the Gulf Coast.
Salt & Light Together Dental Clinic: Local dentists and their staffs team with volunteers to offer much-needed dental care to homeless men and women.
