Ministry

MINISTRY

The ministry of Prineville Presbyterian Church is geared to fit with our church vision.  Therefore our ministry is expansive. These include spiritual care through Bible Study, a special emphasis on children and youth, and outreach and mission through our community garden and various local mission programs. Many of our church members are also active in a variety of helping programs throughout our community; most recently with the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs. Furthermore, our congregation also sponsors Cub Scout Pack 28 and Scout Troop 82.  Communion is gladly brought to those who are home-bound.

Our Church is a member of the "Faith and Community Based Network" which coordinates activities throughout Crook County from helping people in need to community projects.

ADULT

We offer Bible Studies throughout the year all geared to shape us into who are we are as disciples of Jesus Christ. These are open to all regardless of their experience with the Bible. These are opportunities to explore and deepen your faith as well as a safe place to discuss various issues and grow in friendships.

CHILDREN

Whose feet belong to the adults and whose are the youth in this photo? We recognize the need for youth to know Jesus Christ. That’s why we give such very strong financial and leadership support to Young Life. Yet, we also want to bring youth and adults together here to laugh and learn from each other. 

Maybe you’d like to help us do this? The support is here.

COMMUNITY GARDEN

Prineville, like so many rural communities in Oregon is hungry. Our statistics don’t look good. Nearly one in four children live in homes below the poverty level and 2 out of 3 public school children receive free and reduced lunch.

The Prineville Presbyterian Church is responding to this need by offering our  garden to the community. We actively partner with others in helping people learn to grow and cook fresh vegetables. Our garden also has plots available at a nominal fee for residents to grow their own vegetables. The garden is an intergenerational place to share knowledge about gardening, grow healthy food for the poor, and to enjoy God’s bountiful blessings.

We are thankful to the many who pray for us and thankful for all who have supported this local mission.

SVDP is a local food bank here in Prineville that distributes food to families in need. Each year we provide over 10,000 servings of food.
