The Core of WPC

Mission isn't just something we do at Winnetka Presbyterian Church; it's at the core of who we are. Members of WPC have a passion for service projects, mission trips, and finding other ways to share the love of God with our neighbors around the world. To that end, we have a very active mission life at WPC, and invite you to be a part of it.

Below are a few the organizations we partner with in our local area to provide for our brothers and sisters in need.

New Trier Food Drive

During Lent WPC is hosting a food drive for the New Trier Township Food Pantry. Through this season of sacrifice, reflecting and giving let's help our neighbors in need by donating food to the food pantry. Donations bins are located in the atrium. Here is a list of most needed items:
  • pasta and pasta sauce (Jars ok)
  • peanut butter and jelly
  • canned fruit
  • canned tuna
  • personal hygiene items (shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, mouth wash)
  • salad dressings, cooking oil, and condiments

2022 Youth Mission Trip

Our youth mission trip this summer was to Centralia (WA). Several of our young people, along with a few adult leaders, spent a week in Geoff's hometown volunteering at the Lewis County Gospel Mission, Gather Church, and the Seminary Hill Natural Area. 

We were hosted by Harrison Square Presbyterian Church, who helped arrange these wonderful service opportunities for us.
