1st Pres Medical Missions

Who We Are

A World Missions subcommittee is working to facilitate global medical assistance to ministries and churches involved in using medicine to reach their communities for the gospel. Committee members are working to increase the capacity of 1st Presbyterian church to send short-term teams in response to requests for medical assistance at home and abroad.
Who Can Participate in Medical Missions

Licensed medical practitioners and non-medical personnel who have the skills to be part of a team experience are necessary to the success of medical mission outreach. Like all medical settings, non-medical support staff are essential for providing quality medical care.

FAQS
