CROP Walk for Hunger  is a community-wide event sponsored by Church World Service and organized by local volunteers to raise funds to end hunger.  Our church combines with other local churches - St. John Lutheran Church of Ely and the Shueyville United Methodist Church  - each year to walk for hunger.


Presbyterian Church Missions  
We support missions of the Presbyterian Church (USA), the Synod of Lakes & Prairies, and the Presbytery of East Iowa.  Our congregation helps support many missions world-wide, in the United States and locally through contributions.  We do this through our "per capita" contributions, and by special offerings throughout the year.
