Missions: Local & Global

We are the Hands and Feet of Jesus

The SHPC Mission Committee receives and studies potential mission projects, recommending the necessary funding to support current and future mission projects to the SHPC Session. 

The current Mission Committee’s focus has been serving local needs in our community, in addition to funding for national and international mission projects through the Presbyterian Church USA.

We financially support the Presbyterian Home for Children in Talladega, Alabama, and have a legacy of providing board members from our congregation. 

Through the Backpack Program, volunteers from our church deliver supplemental food for weekends to students in need at nearby schools during the school year. 

We support the Jag Food Pantry for students at the University of South Alabama and collect items for McKemie Place Shelter for Women and have begun to collect items for the Dwell Mobile Thrift Store. 

Our church sends financial support and volunteers to Love All Food Pantry, a Loaves and Fish Feeding Ministry housed at Central Presbyterian Church in Midtown Mobile.

Spring Hill Presbyterian Church has a special relationship with Mary B. Austin Elementary School where we support the school staff, tidy the school grounds, and participate in various events throughout the year.

We participate in the Christmas Angel Tree, with gifts for children and senior citizens referred from Catholic Charities and we offer the Christmas Alternative Gift Market, a program where you may donate to a variety of charities in honor of a friend or loved one.

Our church supports Wheel a Meal financially and also provides volunteers to prepare and deliver meals for senior citizens in the local community, in addition to church members serving on the board.

Spring Hill Presbyterian Church is a certified PCUSA Earth Care Congregation. Guided by our Creation Care Team, we get recertified each year. We are also involved with Gulf Coast Creation Care. 

Through all these efforts and more, we aim to be a church that feeds, mentors, and shelters children and acts in partnership with other organizations in our community to achieve maximum benefit. 

The SHPC Mission Committee meets monthly online via Zoom on the first Tuesday evening of each month at 6:00 PM, except in July. 

You do not have to be on the SHPC Mission Committee to serve with us on our various mission projects; however, you are welcome to join the committee if you feel called to serve. If you see a mission project that may interest you, please let us know. We would love to have you help us serve God by serving others. Be on the lookout for church reminders about how and when you may serve with us throughout the year!
