Brazil - We support our friends at Manaus Presbyterian Church in several ways.

• Missionaries - Quarterly, we send money to help support two missionaries working in the Amazon region.  We also provide for emergency needs when necessary.
• Annual Trip - Every year a group from Northminster Presbyterian Church and Ebenezer travels to Manaus, Brazil.  A week is spent on a medical mission boat on the Amazon River.  We have built two churches, painted numerous houses, played lots of soccer, evangelized in villages, cut hair, held Vacation Bible School for children in the villages, and provided medical and dental care for those along the way.  We have also left clothes, toys, flip flops, Bibles, and candy in each village.
• Little Disciples - This ministry helps keep the children off of the streets in Manaus.  They provide after school care, soccer, study assistance, and religious training to the children that they serve.

Christmas in July - We collect school supplies for children in North Fulton County.  Supplies are distributed through NFCC.

Drake House - This is a homeless shelter in Roswell. Because it is an apartment complex, entire families may stay together.  The apartment complex is located near grocery stores and MARTA lines.  The apartments are sponsored by various local organizations.  NPC provides boxes of food from our Angel Food distribution monthly.

Family (of Christ) Mission Trip -- An annual autumn weekend of service designed to include elementary ages through seniors.  The Fall 2011 trip will be September 23 - 25.   We'll stay at the Calvin Center in Hampton, Georgia where program leaders will organize activities at the service and in the city. In 2010, a group ranging from 4 to 60 years old painted, patched, and repaired the home of a wheelchair-bound shut-in.   For more details, contact

Our HomeStretch team works with families living in two apartments sponsored by NPC.  Contact  if you have questions.  

Hunger Walk - The Atlanta Community Food Bank's Hunger Walk is held annually, usually in March.  There is a 10K run and a 5K Fun Run/Walk.  NPC usually forms a team for the walk.  Money raised by NPC is donated to Presbyterian Answer To Hunger (PATH).  To participate, send an email to  and we'll get you involved.

North Fulton Community Charities (NFCC) - This is the longest running mission activity in NPC history.  We were one of the original supporters of NFCC.  We make a monthly financial contribution.  Three times a year for a month, we collect for NFCC's Food Bank.  In July, we collect school supplies (Christmas in July).  In October, we collect gently used coats for their Coat Closet.  In December, we collect gifts through our Angel Tree for Christmas for the less fortunate in the community.  We have several folks that volunteer regularly.

Special Offerings

Christmas Joy Offering - Fifty percent of the receipts to the Christmas Joy Offering are distributed to the Board of Pensions for assistance programs that provide support to retired and active church workers, their spouses, and their families.  The other fifty percent supports Presbyterian-related racial ethnic schools and colleges through the National Ministries Division of the General Assembly Council.

One Great Hour of Sharing - Our gifts support ministries of disaster response, refugee assistance and resettlement, and community development that help people find safe refuge, start new lives, and work together to strengthen their families and communities.

All activities need your participation.  You do not have to be "in charge," unless you would like to be.  Come work with us...we laugh a lot...and we always have a good time.  You may get some hugs that you weren't expecting...you may also change your own life.  I know that you will change other lives.  Step out of your comfort zone...you will love it, WE Promise!!!

**Most all activities are "kid-friendly."  What better way to introduce your child to their church family and to God's world of helping others?**
