Mission Outreach

MISSION

FAITH IN ACTION

The Presbyterian Church in Orland Park participates in local, national, and international mission work. We aim to be thoughtful, caring partners within our larger community and to demonstrate God’s love by offering our time, talents, and resources to those in need. Members regularly volunteer in support of efforts to assist those in need. And we work to invest at least ten percent of our budget in mission work like that below.

As a Matthew 25, congregation we take to heart Jesus words when he said: "I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me."

One Great Hour of Sharing, an annual mission program, assists in disaster and hunger assistance as well as self-development programs for individuals and communities.

Kemmerer Village Reach For a Star

Members participating in the Reach for a Star program donate gifts for children at Kemmerer Village in southern Illinois. The Village is a Presbyterian child care agency providing a wide range of quality services to children and families facing stress and turmoil in their lives.

Annual Rummage Sale

PCOP holds an annual rummage sale!! The event is a combination of mission work, fellowship, and fundraising. Members enjoy two weeks of hectic, invigorating fellowship leading up to the event. Many folks from surrounding communities take advantage of the sale, purchasing low-cost clothing, furniture, and house and kitchen wares -- whatever does not sell is donated to local charities.
