Overview
Mission
The Foundation invites donors to support the church’s good works and to help assure upcoming generations a quality and vibrant mission for God in the heart of Dallas. Our ministry extends beyond the city of Dallas to our partnership with Presbyterian communities in Juarez, Mexico, Guguletu, South Africa, and to our friends at the Jerusalem Baptist Church in Ft. Liberte, Haiti. Over the years, hundreds of our members have gone on mission trips to these communities to serve in places worlds away from Dallas, and to be transformed by the experience. First Presbyterian Church offers countless opportunities to make a significant difference in the world. We invite you to join us, so that you can see the difference such service can make in your own life. Take Up Our Mission.
