Mission and Service at First Presbyterian Church
We serve those around us and those among us. Our open hands reveal who we are—Mission is in our DNA.
It’s in our vision statement too: Welcoming All, Sharing Christ, Serving Others.
We believe that serving one another is serving God.
Our members support C.A.R.E.S. of Farmington Hills with numerous regularly donated food and personal care items. Our members volunteer at the facility, adding untold value in their many hours of service.
We also spearhead Youth United which provides opportunities for interfaith youth to learn more about their commonalities as they serve their neighbors. Supported by about 20 adult volunteers, these young changemakers tackle an impressive array of projects benefiting local organizations and enhancing the dignity of area youth, adults, and families.
In addition, the members of Presbyterian Women support service projects such as Second Mile Center, World Vision, and Alternatives for Girls, with their time, talent, financial contributions and sweat!
