Understanding Jesus' call to discipleship, the
Southport Presbyterian Church seeks to fulfill an active and growing
mission emphasis beyond our congregation.
We take seriously our part in the global mission
of the Presbyterian Church (USA) with an annual pledge. In addition the
congregation has raised record sums for:
One Great Hour of Sharing:
Gifts to this offering support
ministries of disaster response, refugee assistance and
resettlement and community development that help people find
safe refuge, start new lives and work together to strengthen
their families and communities. |
| |
The Christmas Joy Offering recognizes the
faithfulness of current and retired church workers by providing funds
to help them through difficult times.
|
The Pentecost Offering:
Funds from the Pentecost Offering support
work on behalf of children at risk and General Assembly related
ministries with youth and young adults. |
|
The Peacemaking Offering
supports the peacemaking efforts of the
church at every governing body level, and provides an
opportunity to witness to God's gift of peace in the world. |
|
|
A church committee carefully disburses "additional
mission" funds from a church budget for a variety of local mission
programs meeting critical needs of displaced children and families
requiring special assistance. |
|
|
A portion of these funds are
distributed through the church's affiliation with the Southport-Oak Island Interchurch Fellowship. |
|
|
CROP WALKS,
Church World Service's community-based fund raising events, raise money for
local hunger-fighting agencies as well as the international relief and
development efforts of Church World Service. |
|
Community Food Pantry |
Providence House (teen shelter) |
|
|
Hope Harbor (shelter
for Abused women) in April 1988 opened the doors of
its permanent shelter to victims of domestic violence, providing
a safe haven from violence and giving victims the opportunity to
explore their options. |
|
Southport Presbyterian has received
recognition from the Presbytery of Coastal Carolina as one of the
churches in its Presbytery of 195 churches with the highest per capita
giving to mission. |
