Jesus said “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations…” Matthew 28:19. An important value of the Presbyterian Church of Whitewood is our mission to the world. It begins in our own community, and spreads overseas. Our family serves and participates in many different activities, from helping in the kitchen to facilitating “Operation Christmas Child”.

All Presbyterian women, young and old, are welcome!!
