We believe that God calls us to reach out to people in need. We hear about the love of God on Sunday mornings, and then go out to practice that love during the week, by caring for others as God cares for us.
Food Bank
The Food Bank is operating in partnership with the West Medford Food Pantry. The food pantry is located at 750 N. Columbus across from the Santos Center. It’s open on Tuesday afternoons from 1:00 until 4:00.

PCUSA National
We participate in 4 national offerings collected for the Presbyterian Church USA. These offerings are: (1) One Great Hour of Sharing; (2) Pentecost; (3) Peace and Global Witness; (4) Christmas Joy.
One Great Hour of Sharing
A gift to One Great Hour of Sharing enables the church to share God’s love with our neighbors-in-need around the world by providing relief to those affected by natural disasters, provide food to the hungry, and helping to empower the poor and oppressed.
Pentecost
A gift to the Pentecost Offering helps the church encourage, develop, and support its young people, and also address the needs of at-risk children. 40% of the Pentecost offering can be retained by individual congregations wanting to make an impact in the lives of young people within their own community. The remaining 60% is used to support ministries of the Presbyterian Mission Agency to support Young Adult Volunteers, ministries for youth and for children at risk.
Peace and Global Witness
A gift to the Peace & Global Witness Offering enables the church to promote the Peace of Christ by addressing systems of injustice across the world. Individual congregations are encouraged to utilize up to 25% of this Offering to connect with the global witness of Christ’s peace. Mid councils retain an additional 25% for ministries of peace and reconciliation. The remaining 50% is used by the Presbyterian Mission Agency to advocate for peace and justice in cultures of violence, including our own, through collaborative projects of education and Christian witness.
Christmas Joy
Each year during the Advent and Christmas season, we turn our eyes to Bethlehem and celebrate the wondrous gift of Jesus Christ, our Savior. By giving to the Christmas Joy Offering, you honor this gift by providing assistance to current and retired church workers in their time of need and developing our future leaders at Presbyterian-related racial ethnic schools and colleges.
