The Monticello Presbyterian Church ministers within the rural community of Monticello and the surrounding area. Our congregation serves our community by providing opportunities to our members and friends to know and care for one another. We encourage all to be active in the fellowship of our faith community.

We join with other churches in the community for worship and service, including Community Worship, Care Corps ministries, the Thanksgiving service, the Christmas cantata, Easter sunrise service, and Friday morning youth prayer breakfast.

We are also involved in carrying out Christ’s mission worldwide. With other Presbyterian Church (USA) congregations, we help support more than 590 mission co-workers in more that 80 countries around the world. We take part in eight special offerings during the year that go toward these missions. Our church has participated since 1989 in a Mexico work mission, Builders for Christ, in which workers travel to Mexico to help build houses. We also contribute to Change 4 Children to help children in crisis in Zambia, Africa. Information on this charity can be found at www.childreneverywhere.org/change4children.  We partner with Rivers of the World and ROW KIDS to meet needs of people and children in 13 countries.  Information on these charities can be found at www.row.org and www.rowkids.org. Additionally, we have supported Alan and Ézia Mullins, missionaries to Brazil, since 1978.  Their daughter Eni Dell and her husband Paulo Fonseca are now full-time missionaries also.

Mission Statement for Outreach Programs:

The mission of the Outreach Committee of Monticello Presbyterian Church is to share intentionally the Good News of God's love and blessings within our congregation, community, and the world.  Led by God's Spirit, we actively search for opportunities and provide the leadership for our congregation to be the hands, feet, and voice of Christ.

                                             Matthew 28: 19-20a

Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teach them to obey everything that I have commanded you.

Some of our outreach programs are:

International—Mexico Work Mission, Equal Exchange Coffee for fellowship activities, Change 4 Children, Rivers of the World, and ROW KIDS

Regional—Thornwell Home for Children, Presbyterian Homes, Haven House

Local—Christmas for needy families; Christmas in July; Jasper County Care Corps (including the DFACS Food Pantry); Mentoring for school children; Girl Scouts; Boys Scouts; provide meeting location for Safe Havens, counseling with Haven House, and Jasper County Foster Parent Association

 

During the Summer of 2008, missionaries from MPC, along with other missionaries from other NEGA Presbytery churches returned to Piedras Negras, Mexico to build 3 more houses.  This is the 20th year of this mission in Mexico

In addition Freddie Davis, who serves on the board of directors for ROW KIDS, along with Mary Camp and Mary Lou Jordan, made a trip in the spring of 2008 to Vietnam to consider projects in Vietnam for ROW.
