Outreach

Since its birth 2000 years ago, the Church of Jesus Christ has been in the business of serving others. This desire to serve comes from following the example of our Lord, who defined his mission as one of service. "For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many" (Mark 19: 45). Here at First Presbyterian Church we fee called to walk in the footsteps of Jesus by continuing his earthly ministry of service. On these web pages you will find information about the various mission projects that our congregation supports. But the real story is what is found behind the descriptions of these projects. And that is people. People whose lives are touched and transformed because a group of Christians in the small community of Greenwood, South Carolina answered the call of Christ to make a lasting difference in this world. Do not take lightly what you read in the following pages, for the opportunities you will read about are life changing. Thank you for being a part of these vital ministries through your support of First Presbyterian Church, and keep up the good work.

In Christ
David L Mayo


Greenwood First Presbyterian Church has a long and impressive history of support for those less fortunate. Our Church Family has reached out in many ways to assist brothers and sisters in our community and around the world.
The Outreach Committee struggles to see that funds are dispersed in the most appropriate manner to those entities most in need of our support. Outreach is an active, working committee.

The Greenwood County Food Bank
Providing Food for the Needy
The Missions / Outreach Committee of First Presbyterian Church provides funding to many local organizations. One of those is the Food Bank of Greenwood County. The Food Bank began in 1983 as a response to Gov. Richard Riley's call for counties to develop assistance programs for the large number of people suffering job loss during that recession. Greenwood churches, civic clubs, and helping agencies met and decided to open an emergency food pantry. Read more HERE.
