LOCAL MISSIONS

Motivated by the love of God, our mission is to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ and meet the human needs of our community in His name without discrimination.


In Matthew 25:35-39, Jesus said, "For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat. I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in. I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me."


Neelsville joyfully supports and partners with the following local ministries:

  • afghan refugee resettlement

    For the last 2 years Neelsville has been involved in helping 2 families from Afganistan resettle in Montgomery County. We need volunteers, but also financial support. You can support this effort on the NPC website by going to neelsville.org/missions/afghan-resettlement.

  • als walk

    www.als.org - Each fall, Neelsville members form team Take a Lapp for ALS to participate in the Walk to Defeat ALS in memory of our brother in Christ, Rodney Lapp.  We walk to raise funds towards a cure for ALS for all those who are fighting this disease and desperately need a cure.

  • american red cross blood drives

    There are 3-4 blood drives periodically at NPC each year.  You can find dates for blood drives at www.redcrossblood.org.  Search "NeelsvillePresbyterian" to find drives held at NPC.
