Missions

Jesus tells us, "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded." That is missions.

First Presbyterian Church's Mission Statement says, "We will present the Good News of Jesus Christ, encouraging people to repent and accept Him as Savior, leading to a life of discipleship and service."

We hope this information will help us better understand how our church mission program works and help us to come to know, if we don't already, how we individually can fit into the mission program. There is a place for each and every one of us to use the gifts God has given us to help spread the Gospel.

We at First Presbyterian Church help to support missionaries who do the Lord's work in a variety of locations and in a variety of ways. Three families from our church heard the call to go out into other parts of the world to serve the Lord. We who stay home support them through prayer, finances, and personal contact with them. We also are all missionaries and go to our individual mission fields every day.

The following information has been prepared in an effort to make it easier for us to do just that. The amount the church contributes to each missionary or mission agency also is included. This gives us an opportunity to refresh our memory regarding what mission giving looks like at First Presbyterian.
