Stewardship and Mission Committee

The Stewardship and Mission Committee is responsible for the two things contained in its name. Mission is the identification and funding of local, regional, national and international activities that First Presbyterian Church will support in the name of Christ. Stewardship is the solicitation of funds to support both church operations and the mission of the church.

Our mission giving in 2007 totaled $84,285. This reflects the commitment of our congregation to support mission activities outside the daily operation of our church.  This support includes the time, efforts and prayers of our congregation as well as our financial support.  The following reflects where your contributions were given:
