Global Missions
DCPC strives to recognize our interconnection to brothers and sisters in Christ from around the world, and to increase our understanding of the world through outreach and education. We wish to work for justice, peace, humanitarian relief, and reconciliation as called for by the Gospel. We are eager to establish personal relationships between community members across international lines as we build a personal, living bridge globally.
The Global Missions Committee fosters our relationships with our partners at the Sigona Presbyterian Church in Kikuyu, Kenya and in the Kilambe region of Nicaragua. Click here to learn more about the summer 2009 journey to Kenya. We also provide financial support through benevolences to several Presbyterian and ecumenical missions, as well as offering many opportunities to act locally. Finally, we send out mission teams in response to natural disasters such as Hurricane Katrina while our youth participate in a variety of missions each summer.
Our committee is comprised of both adult and youth members of DCPC. We are always looking for new members to serve on this important group. If you would like to get involved, please contact Chair Carolyn Ortmayer (704-892-1172) or Shelli Latham, Associate Minister for Youth and Missions (704-892-5641).
