Wyoming Presbyterian Church

The annual Stewardship Campaign is in full swing. We’re called to share God’s gifts with the church and the world by pledging a portion of God’s treasures to WPC. Your gifts allow us to follow our mission and continue being a beacon of light in our community. Please prayerfully consider how much God’s calling you to contribute for 2022.

In July a team of 12 youth and adults road-tripped to Eastern Kentucky to partner with the Christian Appalachian Project (CAP). For the fourth year in a row, we spent the first week of summer bringing hope and help to those in desperate need. This year we re-shingled roofs and built porches to make their homes safer and dryer. It was a wonderful week hard work and heavy lifting, team bonding and faith abounding. We can’t wait to go back again next summer!
