C.A.R.E.- Christians Activity reaching Everyone
C.A.R.E. is an organized and structured ministry that everyone can be apart of, and it only requires a commitment of one hour per month. The C.A.R.E. Day Ministry is primarily for the visitations of out shut-ins. The Hospital-Bound C.A.R.E. Ministry is primarily for visitations of our members in the hospital. The C.A.R.E. Night Teams send birthday and anniversary cards, and pray for the prayer requests of the congregation. The night teams meet during Wonderful Wednesday at 7:00 PM. To join the care team, please contact the church office.
Our World
First Presbyterian Church extends its love and compassion beyond the boundaries of the Cherryville city limits.
Many organizations and programs are supported in a state, national and international level. These programs are supported through the Western North Carolina Presbytery, The Synod of the Mid-Atlantic, and the General Assembly if the Presbyterian Church U.S.A.
The membership of First Presbyterian is active in its support of mission programs as it realizes the need to extend Christian sympathy and compassion to all regions of the world.
