We believe we are blessed and feel that we should bless those around us in our community, country and abroad, through missions and ministries.
Although some of our ministries were shut down due to COVID restrictions, we found a way to still support those in need.

We assisted the Delafield Presbyterian Church in their spring fundraiser to raise monies to repair an orphanage in Ukraine. The goal was more than met and money was sent to provide new doors and electrical repair work for Father's House in Kiev. Here is information from Rev. Nikki Blanks of the Delafield Presbyterian Church, who spearheaded the fundraiser, and a thank you video from the orphanage:
For those of you who have folks in your congregations that participated in our fundraiser for Ukraine back in April, Father's House Orphanage has put together a video thanking all who gave. It explains their mission in detail, features some kids and some of the staff currently there, and it shows a lot of the progress they've been able to make with the money that was raised. I hope you all enjoy and share with your congregations.
Yours in Christ, Nikki Blanks
We hold collections for New Dawn Worship Center in Milwaukee, as needed. These include backpacks of school supplies in August, cleaning supplies, household goods, clothing and more.
For many years we have participated in Angel Tree Prison Fellowship with members of the congregation purchasing Christmas presents per the wishes of inmates wanting to provide gifts for their children while they are incarcerated. We typically cover 25-30 children in our nearby communities. For more information, click here.
We support our local food pantry in Hartland. For information.
Our newest endeavor is a community garden called Food for the Journey, in conjunction with other churches. Vegetables are grown here and distributed at Apostle Presbyterian Church in Milwaukee to those in need. This project has grown to include 5 gardens cared for by 8 churches. View article.
We are happy to support other local missions and ministries in Lake Country, as opportunities arise.
