Mission and Service at First Presbyterian Church
We serve those around us and those among us. Our open hands reveal who we are at First Presb. We believe that serving one another is serving God.
Find a Place for Your Gifts and Talents
Our members support C.A.R.E.S. of Farmington Hills with numerous regularly donated food and personal care items and many of our members volunteer at their facility. We also spearhead Youth United which provides opportunities for interfaith youth to learn more about their commonalities as they make improvements at this emerging Village of Hope.
About 50 of our members participate in Rebuilding Together, a nationwide non-profit program that works to preserve affordable home ownership and to revitalize communities.
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!
