The Hands and Feet of Christ
First Presbyterian Church believes that mission is crucial to the life of the church. As believers, we are called to actively spread God’s words and love to make a positive difference in the world, whether it be our loved ones, or strangers from another country. First Presbyterian actively supports local, state, national and international missions.

Ready for a Christ Centered Summer Adventure?
Join Our 2026 Summer Mission Trip to Henderson Settlement!
It’s time once again to gear up for our annual summer work camp mission trip to Henderson Settlement in Frakes, Kentucky, happening Sunday–Thursday, June 21–25. This all‑ages trip blends hands‑on service with the joy of traveling together—home repairs, community outreach, time with local families, and plenty of unexpected moments that make the week both fun and deeply fulfilling.
Our work at Henderson Settlement focuses on creating opportunities for better lives through Christ‑centered service and helping meet basic needs in Appalachia. Last year, twenty adults and children from our FPC family joined the team, and we’re excited to see who God brings along this summer.
You might find yourself repairing a porch, assisting with outreach projects, or spending time with local families who welcome volunteers with warmth and gratitude. Every day brings something new, and every task—big or small—makes a meaningful impact.
To give you a sense of the adventure ahead, longtime volunteers Kay and Lamar, who have served at Henderson Settlement for 42 consecutive years, still laugh about their first trip in 1984. With no signs, no GPS, and narrow unpaved roads without guardrails, simply getting there was an adventure. They’ve returned every year since because the experience is that rewarding.
Whether you’re drawn by the chance to serve, the joy of traveling with a great group, or the promise of an unforgettable week, we hope you’ll join us. It’s a trip that surprises you, stretches you, and fills you in ways you don’t expect.
Register now!
If you’re new to the trip, Jennie Auble and Lamar Ziegler will be available during Fellowship Hour this Sunday to answer questions and share details. Returning volunteers, please pick up a registration form at the Welcome Center in Fellowship Hall so we can reserve your housing.

This is a great way for our kids to help other kids in another part of the world. We would love for the children and youth to shop with their parents for these supplies to be a part of the process!
