Short Term Hands-On Missions
First Presbyterian Church of Howell is also involved in short-term, hands-on missions. For current mission project click here

As a Christ-centered Presbyterian Church we seek to joyfully share the good news of the sovereign love of God.

50% of our mission support is given to the Presbytery, Synod, and General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (USA). The remaining support is offered to select local and trans-local projects such as Salvation Army, Livingston Community Habitat for Humanity, New Tribes’ Missions, Christian Salvage Mission, Youth Haven Ranch, Joy for Jesus Ministry, and the Detroit Rescue Mission.

Congregational Mission Trip

First Presbyterian Church of Howell had ten participants in this year’s mission trip to the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico, which took place in December. They joined with twenty members from the Presbyterian Churches in Bay City, Holt, and Jackson.

The group spent one week working on a second floor addition to the Presbyterian Church in Felipe Carrillo Puerto. When completed, the addition will become the main sanctuary and the old sanctuary will become a Fellowship area.

This was the fifth year of our ongoing ministry in the Yucatan. Many of the members who have participated find the work so rewarding they returned for each year on this mission trip.

We Grow BROADER through MISSION!
