MISSIONS

Mission through Calvin Presbyterian Church
"Transforming Lives at home and around the world"

Through our global and local mission committee we seek to take God's reconciling mission through Jesus Christ to the world just outside our door. This committee represents the entire Calvin Community in mission through careful distribution of financial support, and provision of hands-on mission opportunities. Here are some of the highlights of Mission at Calvin.
A long tradition of adult and youth mission trips.

Recent trips have included:

  • Jamaica
  • The Philippines
  • Alabama
  • Mississippi
  • Mexico
  • Honduras

Strong support for Presbyterian mission efforts around the world.
Leadership in the local community programs for assisting the homeless and needy.
Yearly Mission Conferences with recent guests from Cuba, Honduras, Beirut, Portland's Union Gospel Mission. Israel, and this year Russia.  Solid theology behind our mission efforts of evangelism, compassion and social justice.
