Global Missions
In a broken and fearful word, the Spirit gives us courage – to pray without ceasing, to witness among all peoples to Christ as Lord and Savior, to unmask idolatries in church and culture, to hear the voices of peoples long silenced, and to work with others for justice, freedom, and peace.
Mission Co-Worker Support
GPPC has a long and strong tradition of providing direct support to Presbyterian mission co- workers around the world. These co-workers work alongside global mission partners, who bear testimony to God’s healing and transforming love for all people everywhere. Over the last fifteen years, GPPC has supported mission workers involved in relieving hunger, providing medical care, building schools and teaching, aiding in times of disaster, organizing agricultural development, advocating for women, and more. Our gifts have supported mission workers in fifteen foreign counties including Croatia, China, Indonesia, Ghana, Cameroon, Congo, Kenya, Ethiopia, Pakistan, Israel, Palestine, Costa Rica, Guatemala and Southern Sudan.
PCUSA Special Offerings
Through three church-wide Special Offerings, GPPC joins with other Presbyterians to share Christ's love with millions of people around the world. We encourage every member to give to these offerings that connect us to God's work and change lives.
-
One Great Hour of Sharing offerings support efforts to assist people around the world in accessing sustainable food sources, clean water, sanitation, education, and opportunity. The work done in support of the causes supported by OGHS - disaster, hunger, poverty, climate change, and immigration/migration and refugee situations - serves individual and communities in need, providing people with safety, sustenance, and hope.
-
The World Communion Offering is where all God's people, gather around the Table to celebrate the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Part of the atonement that happens around this Table is reconciliation, which is the focus of the World Communion Offering. Experience the grace that comes from reconciling all peoples from all nations around the corner and around the globe through the ministry of this offering.
-
Each year during the Advent and Christmas season, we lift up past, present, and future leaders of the church with the Christmas Joy Offering. God has blessed the church with incredible leadership in every time and place, but those leaders often need to be supported by their communities as well. This Offering provides support for Presbyterian church workers and their families in their time of need and leadership development and education for communities of color at Presbyterian-related schools and colleges equipping communities of color.
