Some of these organizations are strictly local while others have local offices with international impact. Click here for information about organizations we support.

Peacemaking
We embrace the Peacemaking efforts of the Presbyterian Church (USA). Our congregational contributions this year supported three important programs:
- Refugee resettlement programs of Church World Service [https://cwsglobal.org/about/]
- Israel/Palestine Mission Network of the Presbyterian Church (USA) [http://new.israelpalestinemissionnetwork.org]
- Legal needs of the Standing Rock Sioux through the Peacemaking team of Pittsburgh Presbytery [http://www.pghpresbytery.org/ministry_teams/peacemaking.htm]
Taking Care of our Earth
CLICK HERE for the latest update on our Earth Care activities.
We want to be better stewards of the earth, and we have become certified as a Presbyterian Earth Care congregation. We examine regularly ways of incorporating sustainable behavior at every level of our communal life, running our building and our programs. The challenges and guidelines for this self-examination come from Presbyterian Earth Care [http://presbyearthcare.org/about-us/], a separate non-profit organization operating alongside the Presbyterian Church (USA).
