Family mission activities are for those parishoners who feel the calling to support people through initiatives based in partner organizations.  Several opportunities are available.

Our church has established a partnership with local service agencies to help provide for the needs of individuals in our community. We provide both personal hands-on (- symbol) and financial support (- symbol) to our mission partners as tagged below.

Canto de Esperanza Presbyterian Church
This Latino Presbyterian Church is located in Cicero, IL.  For many years our church, Canto, and Heritage Presbyterian Church of Carol Stream, IL have partnered together on a multi-church, multi-ethnic, and multi-national experience in Mexicali, Mexico.  Beyond this, through Canto, First Presbyterian seeks to be a part of the truly Catholic character of the Christian Church, servicing alongside others whom Christ has called, but from a very different part of the world and a very different present context  than ours.  Contact: Pastor Jay Moses.

Mexicali, Mexico Churches
The Presbyterian churches San Marcos and Cristo Viene needed building repairs and evangelical help in early 2006. A team of 29 children and adults traveled to Mexicali for four days to do roof repairs and Bible School work with these two churches under the umbrella of PC USA Presbyterian Border Ministries and the National Presbyterian Church of Mexico.
