Mission and Outreach
We offer outreach to the community in the form of Noah's Ark Day Care Center, provide a meal on Friday evenings for the homeless and those in need in cooperation with Welcome INN, and collect food and toiletries for the Ministries in Coram and the Greater Port Jefferson Ecumenical Food Pantry, an effort of the churches in Port Jefferson to feed and care for the homeless and needy in our community. As a member of the Shalom Interfaith Project, an ecumenical group of churches and synagogues in the surrounding community, we offer the services of a social worker to all in need.
We have expanded our global mission to include trips for youths and adults to Puerto Rico and Cuba and participation in the Midnight Run, providing food and clothing to the homeless in New York City.
Closer to home, our Deacons* organize the collection of Christmas gifts of toys and clothing for needy families in the surrounding community.Other areas of mission and outreach that we support include Habitat for Humanity, Protestant Campus Ministries, Church World Service, Seaport Preschool, the Parish Resource Center, Bread for the World, and the Long Island Council of Churches.
Annually, we present the Victorian Tea as part of the Port Jefferson Dickens Festival. The tea is an elegant chance for socializing. Tea-goers step back in time as they enter our authentically decorated tea parlor in our Fellowship Hall. For a nominal donation, they dine on tea and crumpets and enjoy the talents of local musicians. Proceeds of the tea go to local charities and our mission programs. Victorian dress is optional.
