Mission Interpretation

Alexandria Presbyterian Church has a heart for mission! We are called to follow Jesus’ teaching and his example to minister to all who are in need both within and outside the church, locally and around the world. Mindful of this, the Mission Ministry Team–with the approval of Session and the involvement of the congregation–selects a variety of missions to embrace, financially or otherwise each year.

If you have an idea for a mission opportunity or a project that needs volunteer help, please contact the church office.
