Missions - Local

This is our way of helping to support families in need within the vicinity of our community. At the end of each month we pack and deliver care packages of food, along with our prayers, to our neighbors in need.

Our Mark 6:37 ministry that emerged during the COVID-19 crisis: hot and hearty lunches are prepared and delivered each Wednesday to those in need within our local community. Please contact us if you or anyone you know would like to be included in this service. Volunteers are always welcome!

"Let the little children come to me; do not stop them; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of God belongs." - Mark 10:14

Since He calls us to continue His work...We provide school clothing and Christmas gifts for local children in need. Contact us for more information about this mission project.  

Multiple times each week, the Blessing Box is filled with staple food items for residents in the local community to enjoy as needed.  

The Presbyterian Home for Children serves children, young adults, and families from throughout Alabama who seek healing and hope for their troubled lives.  We provide funds at least twice annually, provide clothing and other items for the Thrift Store on a monthly basis and Christmas gifts as requested.  

Each year during the Advent and Christmas season, we turn our eyes to Bethlehem and celebrate the wondrous gift of Jesus Christ, our Savior.  The Christmas Joy Offering  provides assistance to current and retired church workers in their time of need and developing our future leaders at Presbyterian-related schools and colleges equipping communities of color. 

We participate in Cents-Ability: a small first step in the battle against hunger and poverty. We contribute 2 cents at every meal and bring the funds raised on the appointed Sunday twice a year. This simple act is an expression of thanks for what we have received. It is also a commitment to share with others in response to Jesus’ command “You give them something to eat.”  

Since 1993, Samaritan’s Purse has partnered with local churches around the world to deliver 157 million Operation Christmas Child  shoebox gifts to children in need in 160 countries. Each one—packed  full of fun toys, school supplies, and hygiene items by a family or  individual—is sent with prayer that the child who receives it will  experience God’s love through their simple gifts. 

Each year for the last 27 years, we have been blessed to be able to pack and provide postage for at least 100 boxes.

Since 1949, Presbyterians have joined with millions of other Christians through One Great Hour of Sharing to share God's love with people experiencing need. Our gifts support ministries of disaster response, refugee assistance and resettlement, and community development  that help people find safe refuge, start new lives, and work together to strengthen their families and communities.

OGHS funds are used for the Presbyterian Hunger Program (34%), Presbyterian Disaster Assistance (33%), and Self-Development of People (33%).
