Welcome to the Presbytery of the Pacific

PNS Article From the General Assembly Council: "Congratulations! Your Presbytery is among the Top 10 in two categories of giving to support the mission and ministry of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) for 2007." The Presbytery of the Pacific is listed in the "Top 10 in Per Member Giving to Other Special Appeals" category and in "Top 10 in Per Member Total Giving." All of the Top 10 Presbyteries in Giving were recognized during the General Assembly Council report to the General Assembly (Saturday June 21), and will be honored again at a reception held later this week at GA." As you may know, our presbytery is frequently in these annual "Top Ten in Mission Giving" lists.
