The Mission, Service & Grants committee listens for God's call to share Christ's love, peace, justice and hope; interprets God's call to the congregation; responds to God's call by developing programs that give church members opportunities to serve Christ in the church, in the community and in the world, and by allocating mission dollars. We also join other Presbyterian Churches in providing financial resources through regular and special offerings for greater on-going mission needs and disaster relief in the world. Each quarter the committee reviews grant proposals for various mission projects locally, nationally and internationally. These grants are funded through our church's endowment.

Through them, our Church began a dialogue with IMCK. We were overjoyed when Mr. Bernard Kabibu visited our congregation in 2009. . .
We support the following local, national, and international mission projects:
