The Mission Trips Planning Team has coordinated work teams to serve in disaster response from Coast to Coast. This is a partnership mission with the National Black Presbyterian Caucus of Southern California and Hawaii and we receive scholarship funding from the NBPC-SC. Together this effort is nurturing young adult leadership for a new generation of mission leaders within our churches. Our Planning Team meets once a month on zoom to plan mission trips.

History
2005-2015
For ten years, the National Black Presbyterian Caucus of Southern California and the Presbytery of the Pacific committed to the rebuilding of the Gulf Coast areas after Hurricane Katrina in 2005, coordinating volunteer mission teams to Presbyterian Disaster Assistance Volunteer Villages. The first trip was in pods in Houma, Louisiana.
2016-2020
For four years, NBPC-SC and Pacific volunteered in Baton Rouge on the Gulf Coast to respond to the Storm with No Name in 2016. Although we were forced to cancel our trip due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the leadership team continued to meet on a monthly basis for prayer and support throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
2023-current
In 2023, we organized our first post-COVID volunteer mission trip to Paradise, California, to help rebuild the community of Paradise, CA after the Camp Fire in 2018.
Nicaragua Mission Partnership 2006-2020
From 2006-2020 Pacific Presbytery was in a committed, long-term mission partnership with a micro-credit loan cooperative serving small, rural villages northwest of Leon, Nicaragua. Our partnership was facilitated through CEPAD (Nicaraguan Council of Protestant Churches) based in Managua, Nicaragua, and coordinated by PCUSA World Mission co-workers in Nicaragua. Together in partnership and centered in relationship with one another, we supported CKD health and research for sugarcane workers, secured grants for organic farming training for small farmers, provided funding for clean water systems, planted trees in deforested areas, and organized a youth encounter focused on environmental sustainability. During this time, we coordinated trips to Nicaragua annually.
We coordinate work teams from the Presbytery to serve in disaster response from Coast to Coast. This partnership is a partnership mission with the National Black Presbyterian Caucus of Southern California. Together we are nurturing young adult leadership for a new generation of mission leaders. Our Planning Team meets once a month on Zoom to plan mission trips. If you are interested in joining one of our mission trips, contact us.
