Results of the Social Witness Survey

 

MISSION INVOLVEMENT:

Mission Trips/Projects of Churches in Transylvania Presbytery

The Mission Committee of presbytery seeks to create a database of all the mission trips and short-term mission projects that churches in our presbytery either sponsor or in which they have some active participation.  Our goal is to increase involvement in mission experiences within the churches of our presbytery.    Please take a few minutes to complete this brief survey and return it to the presbytery office.

 

Scholarships for Mission Trips or Project participation for Small Churches in the Presbytery

Goal: To encourage and enable as many people as possible in churches in our presbytery to have a hands-on mission experience locally, nationally, or internationally.  For smaller churches that do not have enough funding to help members fulfill this goal, the Mission Committee will assist with scholarship aid for any interested youth and adults.

 

 

Social Witness Activities of Churches in Transylvania Presbytery  

 

 The Social Witness sub-committee of the Missions Committee seeks information from your congregation about your current social witness activities, and how we can help you foster discussion and action in response to your social justice concerns.   Please take a few minutes to complete this brief survey.
