The Presbyterian Church of Hamilton is known in our community as an equipping and sending church, committed to supporting its members in service to others in the name of Christ. Every member of the community of faith is encouraged to grow in faith through active service to those who are in need.
The missional emphasis of our congregation is evident in the many uses of our facilities by human service groups and agencies from the community. Warm hospitality in facilities designed to enhance mission and outreach and active involvement by members in those service agencies gives tangible expression to the love of Christ at the heart of this congregation.
There is interactive involvement of the whole congregation in meeting the various needs of members of the congregation, and a communication network keeps volunteers informed of the needs of others in the congregation. Mission involvement by the youth is encouraged from early childhood to adulthood.
Numerous opportunities are provided throughout the year to support financially those service agencies and organizations in which our members invest their time and talent. Members are encouraged to come forward with innovative ideas for witness and service in the surrounding community, and are given the opportunity to invite others to join them in developing a faithful response to specific needs. New Mission Teams are formed around these initiatives, and the congregation's support follows its members to extend the reach of our influence. Interdenominational mission projects are carried out in partnership with other are churches.
Throughout the year there are a number of mission trips involving youth and adults in service activities and partnership with other Christians in impoverished areas of the country, and in other countries as well. These mission trips are often life-changing for the participants, serving to expand the vision and enthusiasm of the whole congregation. Global Christians at The Presbyterian Church of Hamilton bring a sense of urgency to the needs of God's children all around the world.
As The Presbyterian Church of Hamilton extends its reach into God's world, the spiritual vitality of the worship life of the congregation is greatly enhanced. Newcomers to the congregation are struck by the combination of vibrant worship with compassionate mission involvement, and are drawn into a deeper involvement in experiencing the love of Christ.
