LOCAL MISSIONS
Through the ministry of our congregation, FPC Aiken shares God’s love locally, regionally, and globally.
Locally, our congregation shares its community-centered compassion and reaches out to those within the Aiken community who might need assistance, support, or just a temporary hand-up for any number of reasons.
Through the use of our time, talents, and treasure, we partner with ACTS, Children’s Place, Christ Central, Community Medical Clinic, as well as a number of other nonprofits in the area.
We’d love to have you share in our journey. To get involved with our local Missions opportunities, we invite you to contact Mike Loftus, Chair of the Missions Committee or the resources below.
