The Special Offerings of the PC(USA) are celebrations of specific ways God has been made known to us. Each is connected to a season of the church year and mandated by the General Assembly to help the whole Church join together in response to God’s grace. They represent the largest, collective way Presbyterians come together to work for a better world. The Offerings actively engage congregations in ministries of compassion, justice, hunger, Christian formation, education, peacemaking and global witness.
Join other congregations in making an impact on the world. Let’s be the church, together.
