HURRICANE RELIEF


Friday, September 27, will live in the memory of so many of us due to the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene. Here in Greenville, property has been badly damaged, neighborhoods have been isolated, schools have closed, significant flooding has taken place, many lost power for several days, while others are still waiting for the power to be restored.

Further to the north and west many communities have experienced catastrophic damage as buildings and homes have been washed away and sadly many have lost their lives. Please be in prayer for those wrestling with a sense of loss due to the loss of a family member. The overwhelming and sudden nature of their grief is significant, and we pray that God’s presence and tender touch will bring comfort amidst the pain.

Many are currently involved in relief efforts for those affected by the storm. If you wish to help, we have listed two agencies, along with a churchwide food collection for local EMS personnel.

Samaritan’s Purse has established five sites for relief work. To donate, click here.
Miracle Hill Ministries in Greenville has immediate needs at its rescue missions and addiction recovery centers. To donate, click here.
Greenville County EMS has established a food bank for their personnel and families. Please bring one or two non-perishable food items to church and place them in the receptacles in Memorial Hall, and the reception areas by the main office and by the Worship & Arts Center.


At First Presbyterian Church, our love for Christ is exemplified in our care for our congregation and community. As we promote a biblical worldview in all areas of Care, our desire is to develop life communities and intergenerational fellowship among our covenant partners and within our community. This endeavor provides a safe place to strengthen us as we grow our relationship with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We offer various ministries to support members and friends during times of special need. See below for information on all of our Congregational Care ministries to learn more about how to get involved or how to receive care.
