Our Mission in Action
At EPC, our Mission team is vibrant and active with a heart for service. We are called to be the hands and feet of Jesus, and we not only give generously through monetary gifts but also engage personally in projects that reach out with compassion, support, and love. Our guiding principle is serving those nearby and far away as God leads us.
We share leadership and encourage every member to bring forward projects they are passionate about. Together, we support and uplift one another as we carry out these ministries—both locally and globally. We set a low bar to supporting new projects!

National and Global Missions
Amor Ministries – In February each year, over 20 EPC volunteers travel to Rocky Point, Mexico, to build a home for a family in need. This is a whole-church effort, though. We raise all the funds for the build every year for over 20 years. Our Crafters make a quilt and curtains for the new home. Other members donate household items, toys, and things that just make a new home more–homelike!
Collins Missionary Family – Supporting a missionary family engaged in aviation ministry.
One Great Hour of Sharing – Contributing to a Presbyterian fund responding to global crises.
