- Outreach / Ministries -


First Presbyterian is committed to mission and outreach in the community of Kernersville. Here are some ways that we have been able to help others.

Holiday Market: The Holiday Market is held every November to raise money to help needy and disadvantaged families in our community. By selling homemade craft items and baked goods, we have been able to help six to seven needy families each year during Christmas. Working with the school system, we provide Christmas presents and gift certificates to families who may not have been able to celebrate Christmas otherwise. We also help families in need during the rest of the year. Last September, we were able to contribute a significant amount of money to provide children with school clothes and supplies.

Place Your EGG ORDERS HERE!

Egg Info!Eggs: We are known as the Easter Egg Church. For seventeen years we have made Chocolate covered Peanut Butter and Coconut Easter Eggs. Last year we were able to donate $7,500 to local organizations and charities that benefit the greater Kernersville community.

These contributions enabled kids to attend police camp for youth, provided children's car seats for families unable to afford them, helped offset the cost of professional counseling for those needing counseling, assisted individuals with rent, utility and prescription expenses and assured the safety of battered women and their children.

Every week for seven weeks prior to Holy Week, 30 to 40 church members and community volunteers make this ministry possible. Every year, the Kernersville community decides not to give up chocolate for Lent and buys our eggs! We are most thankful!

Mexico Mission Trips: In past years, we have sent three of our members to Mexico with a team from Salem Presbytery to provide medical care to some of the most remote regions of Mexico. We hope that in the coming years, we will be able to send more missionaries.


In addition we also offer financial aid, food and assistance through Crisis Control Center located at 431 Bodenhamer St., Kernersville.

We also act as an Emergency Shelter in the event of a disaster or emergency in collaboration with the American Red Cross and the City of Kernersville.
