Mission at SCPC


Disaster Bucket Project
Bucket Packing Event Will be April 23 Following the Exploration Hour!


SJMT (Social Justice & Mission Team) is purchasing buckets and lids, and we need you to help us fill them! Items can be ordered for delivery directly to the church office, or you can shop locally and drop them off. Either way, please make sure to sign up so we come out even, and get exactly what’s called for (smaller sizes preferred when there is a range — there is a LOT to fit into each bucket!)​

Sign up for bucket items here, or by calling the church office. 

​Get a 
shopping list here.

Community Needs and Opportunities
We have been made aware of some needs in the community for warm and warming items: blankets, coats, boots, and heaters for folks who are cold. If you have warm blankets, comforters, flannel sheets, coats, or boots that you no longer need, but that still have lots of use in them, please reach out to the church office, and we can let you know about sizes that we know are currently needed. 

If your household is really stretching to make ends meet this year — or if you know households that are — there is an opportunity for households of one or more people to receive Thanksgiving dinner supplies. There are no income or proof-of-situation requirements. Learn more here. As the form itself says "keep in mind that sometimes the best gift is allowing yourself to receive!”
Please spread the word.

SCPC supports many local agencies including:
  • ARC of Centre County
  • Bridge of Hope
  • Centre Helps
  • Centre Safe
  • Centre Volunteers in Medicine
  • Housing Transitions
  • Interfaith Human Services
  • Out of the Cold
  • Park Forest Day Nursery
  • State College Food Bank
  • Youth Service Bureau

And Internationally:
  • Hekima Girl's School
  • Haiti Fund (through the Comprehensive Development Project)

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.
