serving others
in our community
Part of the purpose of the church is to be engaged in and connected with the community in which we are a part. Through Wayne Presbyterian, financially you can support missionaries local and abroad, water projects in Kenya and outreach initiatives in our community. But we also believe it is important to get our "hands dirty" and personally get involved. Below are 3 areas you can support physically as well as financially.
serving others
in the community
habitat for humanity
Several times a year volunteers head to Paterson, NJ to participate in an active house building project. Additionally each year the congregation is invited to a fun "Hammering for Humanity" fundraiser where the church donates to the organization
Local Food Banks
Through this program, you can provide non-perishables to a local food pantry. You bring the items with you to church and they get distributed to the food pantry. There are also several opportunities a year to donate items and volunteer time to a food bank in Paterson (CUMAC).
Wayne Welfare
Each year many families go without during the holidays. You can make a difference in a child's life as we partner with the Wayne Welfare Office. Through this program you can purchase a Christmas present for a child who would not otherwise receive one and add a little joy to his/her season.
Serving others
Inside the church
We are all made for a purpose. God has given you gifts that you, and only you, can use. When you use your gifts and your talents to serve in the church, the whole community benefits and you receive blessings that you never knew existed.
Below are some ways you can serve in our church. We want you to find a place where you can enjoy what you are doing and give back to others.

Serve Others
What is your purpose in life? Is it to be happy? Is it to have things? Is it to travel or experience exotic locations? All of these are good goals and can add meaning to life. But nothing compares to giving a part of yourself to someone else. The purpose in life is find a way to be useful and make a lasting difference. You can do that by serving others. We have a place for you to volunteer and get started.
