Mission Trips

Eddie Parks and Kyle Greenlee, both from First Presbyterian, hold a quilt which is a gift from the East Iowa Presbytery to the Presbytery of Cerea, on the occasion of the Centennial Anniversary of Cerea.

Members of First Presbyterian have participated in mission trips, both in the United States, and abroad.

The youth of first Presbyterian have the opportunity to go on an annual mission trip, in the United States.

The church has also sponsored members on trips outside of the United States. The information brought back from these trips are inspiring and thought-provoking for all.

The most recent trip was a visit from our Presbytery to the Cerea Presbytery near Fortaleza, Brazil. Three members of our church were sponsored for this visit.

In 2007, members of the church travelled to New Orleans. It was an intergenerational trip for the whole church.

We are tentatively planning another intergenerational work trip to New Orleans in June 2008. This experience would be similar to last year's with a partnership at First Presbyterian Church of New Orleans.

Anyone 16 or over may go. Don't miss this opportunity to help make a difference for the people who have lived through one of the worst natural disasters in our nation's history!
