Missions
Be Involved
God has given each of us different gifts to use for His service.
The Presbyterian Church at New Providence (PCNP) is committed
to our Mission Partners. In truth, this commitment involves
more than financial gifts; it is a relationship we share with
one another and with Jesus Christ.
Our partners need help from real people like YOU! You may
have some of these gifts. What a great way to make a difference
for the sake of the kingdom.
