Mission
The Mission Team of Central Presbyterian Church (CPC) partners with non-profit organizations in order to further their missions. We raise funds and build awareness of the important work these partners accomplish. This is at the heart of CPC. We cannot live out the Christian message without reaching out to others. Please take a look, find out more, get involved, and be part of these wonderful projects.
Mission Partners
Manos de Cristo
Manos de Cristo strives to be the Hands of Christ for Austinites in need. This Presbyterian ministry offers much-needed services to the indigent and to low-income families, including a dental clinic, food pantry, clothes closet, citizenship classes, ESL classes, tutors/mentors, and pastoral care. Manos de Cristo serves more than 20,000 people each year. Central Presbyterian members provide financial support and non-perishable food monthly to the food pantry.
The Refugee Collective
The Refugee Collective employs refugees and immigrants in fair-wage, dignified work through two social enterprises: a textile manufacturing studio and an organic farm. Our enterprises are built at the intersection of the traditional, respected skills of sewing and farming that refugees bring and a growing market for local food & textile production. The Refugee Collective is housed within the Central Presbyterian Church building.
Crop Walk
Crop Walk feeds hungry people around the block and around the world. The donations are given to Church World Service for worldwide hunger relief, and a portion is retained in Austin for a selected agency. Central Presbyterian registers a team annually, and participating walkers are supported by pledged gifts from the congregation and beyond.
