LOCAL MISSIONS
We pride ourselves on being a congregation which is committed to doing and supporting the work of Christ’s Kingdom locally and globally. Year after year the members of our congregation commit about ten percent of our total receipts to mission work outside our congregation. We have very specific criteria for the kind of mission work we want our money to support.
We try to fund programs and personnel who are part of the mission work of our denomination. We also believe that the work we support needs to be wholistic, it must address the needs of the whole person, physical, emotional, and spiritual.
In Pittsburgh Presbytery we support the work of:
- East Liberty Health Care Center

The Mission of the East Liberty Family Health Care Center is to witness to God's love, known in Jesus Christ, by offering quality, whole-person health care to all, especially the poor.- Pittsburgh Region International Student Ministries
