New in 2025 our mission committee has partnered with Oskaloosa schools to participate in a Pen Pal Program with local 5th graders. This will be a new endeavor to connect with our community across generational lines. Volunteers will write letters throughout the school year  and our church hopes to make this an annual tradition!

 

First Presbyterian Church of Oskaloosa, IA is actively involved in a variety of mission ministries! Missional purpose of our church extends to both our community and abroad. We support missionaries, local community mission groups and our church committees all find ways to share Christ's call for discipleship and mission within their projects.  

 

Craft Fellowships have been added to our church activities which includes learning a new craft with the supplies donated with the participants able to complete and take home a craft. A free will offering is collected and donated to the group's choice of missions.

Another mission we support is Meals from the Heartland in Des Moines, IA. This important mission packs nutritious meals that are distributed in Iowa and through the US and 32 other countries. The cost of each meal is &1.25 and feeds a family of six. Our group packed enough meals to feed 7,776 people and also brought donations to help MFTH with packing expense and supplies. Here are some pictures of our time volunteering.
