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.
For more information or to volunteer, please contact Elders Sheryl Durham or Buzz Mossholder.

How your contributions to the PCUSA for Ukraine are being used:
PCUSA partners include Hungarian Reformed Church Aid, Friends of Community of St. Egidio, International Orthodox Christian Charities and, through ACT Alliance, Hungarian Interchurch Aid and Lutheran World Federation. These partners work alongside regionally and locally based congregations and agencies in Ukraine, Hungary, Poland and Romania. Donations primarily support refugees in transit (Internally Displaced Persons in Ukraine in addition to refugees who have crossed borders) with basic survival needs including food, hygiene items, potable water, baby supplies, first aid and psychosocial support.
