Our Mission

First Presbyterian Church has a long history of living out our faith through serving “the least of these” in downtown Sioux City and to the ends of the earth.

 

Presently we are engaged in two outreach programs which assist those who do not have the best opportunities in life. As a congregation we participate as well as give financial support to the Soup kitchen as this city endeavors to take care of the poor.

 

This congregation also has a great deal of energy around serving the students of Hunt Middle School. We collect clothing for these children throughout the year to provide them items that they would not normally have access to, but beyond that our efforts strengthen those children’s character as they able to attend school in clothing that doesn’t allow them to be a target for derision or bullying.

We are also a congregation that supports the Presbyterian Camp at Lake Okoboji. Our financial support along with the hands on work we do each spring helps the camp maintain well-groomed cabins so that others can attend camps and conferences to deeper their faith journey.

 

Our ministry has extended beyond Sioux City to our partnership with Presbyterian communities in Mexico and Haiti. Over the years, scores of our members have gone on mission trips to these communities to serve in places worlds away from Sioux City, and to be transformed by the experience.

 

First Presbyterian Church offers countless opportunities to make a significant difference in the world and see the difference such service can make in your own life. We challenge you to join us in our mission and benevolence.
