OUR MISSIONS
AND MISSION PARTNERS
At OPC we strive to be the hands and feet of Jesus through our service to the community and the world. Through our own efforts, and partnership with local and global ministries, we pray that God is glorified and people are blessed. Take a look at our missions below, and pray about how you can partner with us!
Through the donations of our members and the community, our team of volunteers assembles gift bags of comfort items, which we distribute to local hospitals. There, they are given to the mothers of hospitalized children on Mother's Day, as a gift from their child, with a little help from OPC.
Every week, women from our Presbyterian Women organization gather together to knit, crochet, and sew items to be donated to the hospitalized and homeless both locally and in partnered ministries such as Project Linus. Over the years, we have donated thousands of gloves, hats, scarves, baby clothes, and blankets! Check our calendar to find the next group stitching session and come join us!
