MISSION & OUTREACH
MISSION & OUTREACH
It is through Mission & Outreach that Grace First Presbyterian Church becomes the hands and feet of Jesus. We worship, work, and witness to a living Christ through collections, mission trips, and community activities for those both near and far. Through planned giving, volunteer opportunities, and community involvement with established non-profits, we continue to work to help the poor, the lonely, the oppressed, the widow, and children.
