Outreach Committee Mission Statement

(adopted July 12, 2005 )

"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor.

 He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and the recovering of sight to the blind,

to set at liberty those who are oppressed, to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord."

Luke 4:18-19

3. help facilitate both individual and congregational contributions of time, talents and fiscal resources, as well as studies of mission concern and relevant social issues,

4. determine how the General Mission portion of the Eastridge Presbyterian Church operating budget should be distributed, based on...      

- opportunities for Christian or spiritual growth,
