Mission Ministries

Serving God’s people is one the most basic calls of Christian life. In heeding God’s call to be our brothers and sisters’ keeper, the Mission Ministries guiding scripture is Micah 8:12: “Your ancient ruins shall be rebuilt; you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; you shall be called the repairer of the breach, the restorer of streets to live in.”

The Mission Ministries of East Liberty Presbyterian Church are dedicated to and involved in Christian ministry to the local, national and global communities. Committed to social justice, mercy, peacemaking, understanding, and acceptance, ELPC’s Mission Ministries provide support through volunteers, cultural exchanges, financial gifts, and in-kind resources for basic human needs including food, shelter, and intervention.

The ELPC Mission Board was established to carry out the call to be repairers of the breach, to serve God’s people and reflect the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The committees of the Mission Board are advocates for justice, and committed to a diverse community and the strengthening of families. The committees are intentional in creating a connection with ELPC members and the outside community through active participation, education and information sharing, and engagement with ELPC partners.

The Mission Board goals are implemented through four committees listed below with their focus areas:
