Missions

And while they were ministering to the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.”

Then, when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.

Acts 13:2-3

Missions at our church range from supporting recycling efforts in our community to praying for and funding missionaries in Haiti. The First Presbyterian Church Childcare Center, Inc. is a major local mission of our church and is open to the entire community. We have embraced the South Carolina Project Agape Foundation lead by our minister’s wife “Jim which focuses on Quemistan, Honduras. And, like all churches in Mississippi we have been called to do our part to help our fellow Mississippians devastated this past year Hurricane Katrina. A long-term mission for our church is the 2 Cents-A-Meal offering, which helps to fund food banks through northeast Mississippi. A new mission is Operation Soldier Care where we have made donations to support two US Army battalions in Iraq.
