Missions & Outreach
Mission work is central to the identity of Silver Spring Presbyterian Church. We do all we can to be the hands and feet of Christ in the world. Here are some of the current groups and activities that fall under missions:
Reach Out and Rebuild (ROAR)
Our ROAR team travels wherever they are needed, whenever they are needed. For instance, six different rebuilding trips were taken to the Gulf Coast alone to help restore areas destroyed by Hurricane Katrina two years ago.
Mission At The Eastward
Another group, called MATE, travels annually to rural Maine to help those who need it most.
Habitat for Humanity
SSPC sends a group every month to work on the Harrisburg Habitat for Humanity house. This year, as part of our 275th Anniversary Celebration, SSPC will "Blitz Build" half of a duplex in Harrisburg.
Downtown Daily Bread
Help serve meals at this Harrisburg soup kitchen.
South African Partnership
SSPC maintains an open and supportive relationship with a sister church in South Africa.
Agency Support
SSPC provides financial support to over two dozen local charitable organizations including the following:
- Promise Place
- Meals on Wheels
- Hospice of Central Pennsylvania
- Downtown Daily Bread (we also send volunteers monthly to serve food)
- Central Pennsylvania Foodbank
- And many more...
