First Presbyterian offers a wide variety of local mission opportunities.

We have a vital relationship with the Watertown Urban Mission. Together we offer Dollar Dinners at the church, participate in food and funding drives, as well as volunteer on a regular basis.

This year we are engaging the community in a week-long rehabilitation project in the city. Projects range from painting houses, rebuilding porches, installing new siding to a nearly complete housing remodel.

First Presbyterian is blessed with a vibrant deacon board made of members who devote themselves to caring for the homebound, to fellowship, and to acts of kindness for the hurting. The deacons meet each month. During these meetings, they hear concerns about members in need of help, plan special events like a fundraising auction or consider how to help others such as a leaf raking project in the spring or fall. A term on the deacon board is three years and the term is renewable once.
