We love our neighbours around the world.
We raise money for international missions through Presbyterian Sharing and Presbyterian World Service and Development.
How it Works - Presbyterian Sharing is the national church fund that supports the mission and ministries we do together in Canada and worldwide.
Who We Support - Presbyterian Sharing supports many ministries, including encouraging and equipping congregational renewal and development. As well as supporting inner-city, native, refugee, urban, remote and chaplaincy ministries in Canada and sending mission personnel to work with international partners.
How Can I Support the Mission? - Each year, the congregation accepts an allocation, an amount we pledge to send to the national church for this work. This money comes from donations from the congregation designated for this purpose.
If we receive designated gifts beyond this allocation, it is all sent to further this mission work.

Presbyterian World Service & Development
PWS&D works with churches and organizations seeking to transform their communities by promoting justice, peace, and creation integrity. PWS&D supports people and communities according to their needs and regardless of faith.
Presbyterian World Service and Development (PWS&D) is funded by donation by the individuals in the congregation and fundraising events like Journey for Hope, in which we participate.
Gaza Emergency Appeal (PWS&D)
Recently, Rev. Wendy shared news of the urgent humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Presbyterian World Service & Development (PWS&D), in partnership with ACT Alliance and the Canadian Foodgrains Bank, is working to get food and essential aid to those in desperate need.
Thanks to our Trustees, Team Outreach will match donations up to $2,500 — doubling your impact!
Our goal: $5,000
All funds will support emergency food relief in Gaza.
To have your donation matched, give through the church office or online and mark it: “Gaza Emergency Appeal (PWS&D)”
Let’s reach — and exceed — this goal to offer hope where it’s needed most.
Bighead River Project
The Bighead River Foodgrains Project is one of over 200 local growing projects across Canada that raises funds for the work of Canadian Foodgrains Bank. Started in 1997 by several Meaford churches, it has raised $691,600 since its inception. When eligible, and matched on a 4:1 basis by Global Affairs Canada, its total becomes over $2.77 million. We raise money for the Bighead River Project through the month of October through our Toonie Tree project.
Canadian Foodgrains Bank is a partnership of 15 Canadian churches and church-based agencies working together to end global hunger. They work with locally-based organizations in developing countries to meet emergency food needs, achieve long-term solutions to hunger and work to foster informed action by Canadians and governments to support this international cause.
