We occasionally get notices from community agencies, or calls from community members in need. Recently, we were thrilled to learn that several Out of the Cold guests would be moving into apartments, and would need a few specific items as they got started in their new homes. Those needs have all been met, but we hope to see more of this in the future.  

If your household uses the change of seasons as a time to gather and pass on items that you are not using frequently enough, please check in with Cricket or Laura Green in the church office to see if any of your items are on our Current Needs list. If they are, we will make arrangements to get them where they will be used and loved!

When imagining the possibilities for new, improved, or expanded mission projects, the sky is the limit for the State College Presbyterian Church!   We are committed to “big” projects such as sponsoring and building a Habitat House and international mission relationships with communities in Togo, Haiti, Thailand and elsewhere.  It is also important that we continue our commitment to all current mission projects and trips and turn our focus on improving how the stories of those significant mission experiences are shared with the rest of the congregation.  We must be sure that our church community continues to make regular connections to our ongoing and established activities as “mission projects” (e.g., the angel tree and other local projects).

​Want to Join the Mission Team?
Please join the Social Justice and Mission Team if you’re interested in being a part of the church’s mission and outreach team.   We generally meet at 5:30 pm on the first or second Monday of each month.  Mission and outreach happen in all corners of the church, through Deacons, FISH, and many places.  SJMT is SCPC’s committee that helps determine the charities and causes that the church’s budget supports, explores and advocates for social justice in the model of Jesus, and helps to launch and facilitate new mission initiatives including mission trips.
