First Presbyterian Church of Oskaloosa
Missions
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.
NEW in 2023 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.

Operation Christmas Child!
Last year our church donated 160 shoebox gifts for this mission.
OCC is a mission that is shared throughout our youth group and Sunday schools as a project teaching evangelism by packing a Christmas gift for children located all over the world!
This year our church made 139 shoe cutouts for children in Uganda! The shoes are then made for the children to prevent parasite infections.
