Church Mission Extends

Catonsville Presbyterian Church provides mission giving outside Board of Deacons collections and Grace Mission Fund interest spending. As a connectional church, our weekly offering supports PCUSA mission nationally through the Presbyterian Mission Agency and at the regional level (the Presbytery of Baltimore). In addition, special offerings and special mission projects add to our over-all church mission giving.
