Faith in Action | Wayne Presbyterian Church

Mission at Wayne Presbyterian Church provides service, education and advocacy opportunities alongside religious and non-profit partners—called our mission partners. We have mission partners locally in suburban Philadelphia, in the City of Philadelphia—specifically The Common Place and other organizations in Southwest Philadelphia, and in other parts of the country and world. Below you will find information on our many programs.
