Local Missions
Habitat for Humanity
Newnan Presbyterian Church has been involved with Newnan-Coweta Habitat for Humanity since the affiliate was founded in 1993. Members of the Church were involved in the creation of the affiliate and various members have served on the Board of Directors. The Church supports this mission financially through funding from the Outreach Ministry, Second Sunday Mission offerings, and donations from individuals. In addition to working as onsite volunteers, several Church members are involved with the Neighbor to Neighbor program, serving as training facilitators or mentors for Habitat families.
In 2004, NPC participated in the ecumenical "Foundations of Faith" build with other local Churches. The 20th Habitat house was completed through the efforts of NPC member Lee Troutman who solicited all the materials, subcontractors and labor for the house.
In Fall 2005, Habitat recognized the long-term involvement of our minister, Dr. Harry Barrow, with its 25th house.
For information about helping with Habitat, contact Glenn Scott or the Habitat office at (770) 252-9049 or http://www.nchfh.org.

Food Pantry
Newnan Presbyterian Church, along with First United Methodist Church, St. Paul's Episcopal Church and St. George's Catholic Church serve our community by providing volunteers for the Coweta County Food Pantry. The volunteers stock shelves and fill food orders for families who have been approved to receive assistance by the Department of Family and Children’s Services. Our Church is asked to provide volunteers three times a year, during the months of January, May and September. Volunteers work for about two hours per day of service. For more information, contact Dorothy McLean at 678-245-1702.

Due to the Coweta Community Food Pantry’s on-going need to replenish its shelves, NPC will continue with its “Bring Bread When We Break Bread” program. On the first Sunday of each month when NPC serves communion, please bring canned or dry goods for the Food Pantry. Donation baskets are located in each narthex. |
