Outreach

Outreach

“Called by God to be the heart, voice, hands, and feet of Christ where the Spirit leads us.”

At Tuckahoe Presbyterian Church, we take our mission seriously. Inspired by Christ’s command to love and serve one another, we respond to both spiritual and physical needs—in our neighborhood, across Central Virginia, and around the world.

Our Outreach Committee coordinates opportunities, communicates needs, and helps us serve faithfully. We focus on housing insecurity, food insecurity, and supporting children and families.

If you’d like to join a project or learn more, contact the church office—we welcome new members, fresh perspectives, and willing hands!

Disaster Relief Mission Trip

For the week of June 21-27, a group from TPC will travel to Spruce Pine, NC, to help families and churches rebuild damage sustained in September of 2024 due to Hurricane Helene. Anyone 16 years of age or older is welcome, and you can come for the full week or just part of the week. Suggested donations to cover food, transportation, and lodging are $75 for youth and $150 per adult. Payment can be made HERE. Scholarships are available if needed. Do not let a lack of experience deter you; everyone will be able to contribute to the effort. If you can’t come and would like to support the mission financially, that would be greatly appreciated.

Register HERE by May 21 or make a monetary donation. Join us for an informational meeting on Sunday, May 31, at 9:45am, in Room 106 to discuss next steps for those interested in participating. Thank you in advance for your participation and prayerful support. Please contact Walter Smith with any questions.
