Experience Mission
The Presbyterian Church in Canada’s mission program has been designed to help congregations and individuals connect with Presbyterian mission partners and agencies in Canada and overseas to experience and experience mission.
In this lifetime experience, the rewards are personal and spiritual rather than monetary. Put your faith into action by joining our mission program. Start your journey here:
Stewardship
Stewardship comes from understanding that all that we are and all that we have is a 
gift from God. The stewardship program helps congregations and individuals discern how to use the gifts they have been given: time, talent and money, to do God’s mission. Educational resources and interactive events help congregations and individuals learn how they can use their resources to do mission. The stewardship program equips congregations to design stewardship programs tailored to their community.
