Mission and Outreach
Elizabeth Presbyterian Church is striving to be a truly
mission-driven congregation. The impact of this effort reaches near
and far. Not only are we working to bring the help, hope, love and
compassion of Christ to the people of our own community. We support
other ministries around the region and the world, including the
following.
Elbert County Community Outreach,
a cooperative effort among various county groups and
social service agencies to provide much-needed items and services to
struggling families who are falling through the cracks in the
system.
Alternatives Pregnancy Center,
a Denver-area ministry providing Christian counseling and support to
women facing unwanted pregnancies.
Love the Child, a ministry
meeting the physical, spiritual and educational needs of Guatemalan
orphans.
Denver Street School,
a ministry providing hope and a second chance to at-risk high school
students.
Friends for Youth, a Denver-area
ministry that matches Christian volunteers with young people on
probation to provide friendship and support.
Network Mission Partnership,
a cooperative effort with other member churches of the Denver
Presbytery to support the Network Coffeehouse. Located in the
Capitol Hill area of Denver, the coffeehouse offers a place for
homeless and mentally ill people to come in out of the cold and find
Christ-like friendship over a hot cup of coffee.
Whiz Kids Tutoring, a ministry that
provides tutoring and Bible teaching to elementary-aged children in
at-risk neighborhoods around the Denver area.
Witnessing Ministries of Christ,
a mission to redeem the minds, bodies and souls of India's 133.8
million "untouchables" in the name of Jesus Christ.
Zimbabwe Mission Partnership,
also a cooperative effort among several member churches of the
Denver Presbytery. The ministry works to enhance the health,
education and spiritual development of the struggling people of the
Nyamashato region of Zimbabwe. The ministry was founded by Ralph and
Roberta Pippitt, members of New Hope Presbyterian Church in Castle
Rock.
Where possible, the people
of Elizabeth Presbyterian Church are involved with these ministries
not only with their pocketbooks, but with their time and talents.
Our goal is to be actively engaged in ministry outside the walls of
the church, sharing Christ's love. If you would like to be involved
with any of these ministries, or with the team that administrates
this important effort for our church, please contact Carrie Whitely
303-646-5192.
