First Presbyterian Church of Huron

First Presbyterian Church of Huron, maintains our own short list of mission causes to which we directly contribute. The Nurture and Mission Committee have the delightful task of giving away certain monies to causes and agencies deserving of the support of this church. These mission causes includ, but are not limited to, Bread for the World, Berea Children's Home, Huron Dial-a-Ride, Medical Benevolence Foundation (PCUSA approved), Safe Harbor Shelter (Sandusky), Menaul School in Albuquerque, New Mexico (PCUSA approved), Buckhorn of Ohio (Presbyterian foster care facility), Care and Share (Affiliated with First Presbyterian Church, Sandusky), and Habitat for Humanity.

In addition, community groups such as AA, Al-a-Non, Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, and Habitat for Humanity may be found meeting in one room in the building or another as their program schedule requires. This gift of a safe and comfortable space in which to meet in support, to plan camping trips and work towards merit badges, to envision a different future that includes owning a home is the institution of the church serving Jesus Christ as a good neighbor to other institutions.

Countless hours of community service and volunteer work are given by many, many members of the congregation as an outward expression of their inner faith. To be a good Presbyterian requires that you be a Christian, and a good citizen. These uncounted, invisible hours of mission work in town strengthen the quality of Huron's civic life.
