Reaching out to our local community and also to our friends  

working in all areas of Mission across the globe

is a foundation of our church community.

Our goal is to be focussed outwardly with prayer, practical support and ‘giving’  to each of these causes.

If  you  would like more information on any of these activities please contact Rev. Andrew Satchell

Gran’s Van:http://www.gransvan.org.au

 

We enjoy volunteering with  Gran’s Van distributing food and clothing in our local area, to those in need. We make  ‘old’ friends and learn a few life lessons about humility and contentment along the way. Gran’s Van was formed in 2006 to provide help to the homeless and hidden poor of Devonport.

        

 

Devonport Presbyterian Church has a strong link with Devonport Chaplaincy.http://devonporthaplaincy.org.au/team/

Members of our church family find rewarding service working, in the clearly defined role, as mentors to a number of school children.

Check out the Food for thought, Easy P’s, and Mentor training programmes.
