Transform our world

Missions at Point Loma Church

The Transform Our World Mission Group reaches out to the world with the Gospel of Christ through mission, sheltering and service beyond our walls. We provide our congregation with opportunities to serve and/or support local and global missions and missionaries through our time, talent and treasure.

A primary way we support our partners is through the allocation of PLCPC mission funds. There is a grant process and discernment among the committee in reviewing the missionaries we support each year. Many of our partners were established through existing relationships held within the church community. We host annual toy, food and backpack drives throughout the year as well as offer regional serving opportunities. We also partner with the Presbyterian Disaster Assistance to address humanitarian crises that may arise.

If you are interested in serving and getting involved, there are many ways to do so. Join us for our meeting, at 7 pm on the second Tuesday of most months. Contact Bob Lemke for more information about how to get involved.

MISSION PARTNER STORIES

Uplift

UPLIFT's Mission is to advance community equity through free academic improvement & housing stability programs to break the cycle of poverty with love in action.

New Day Urban Ministries

In a Christ-centered environment, New Day Urban Ministries restores lives by equipping those in need to move forward with hope by providing essential services to the homeless, urban poor, veterans and those recently released from prison in a safe, home-like setting where people are treated with dignity, respect and compassion.

Rancho Genesis

Each year, a team from our church travels to Ensenada, Mexico, to serve with our mission partner, Rancho Genesis. During the trip, mission team members assist Rancho Genesis in hosting camps for children from local orphanages. Through these camps, children experience Christ's deep and unconditional love in tangible ways. They participate in devotionals, enjoy fun camp activities, share delicious meals, and hear words of encouragement and affirmation. For many of these children, these experiences help heal painful memories of abuse with new memories of love, joy, and hope, bringing healing and reminding them of their incredible worth in God's eyes. Watch this video to see highlights of the trip!

Loaves & Fishes

Loaves and Fishes Food Pantry is a non-profit organization, responding to food insecurity in our community.

Ladle Fellowship

Ladle Fellowship serves San Diego's homeless community with hot meals and clothing. However, for many people on the streets, the lack of hope is an even greater risk factor than lack of proper food, shelter, and clothing. By sharing God’s gospel of grace, and living God’s law of love, the Ladle Fellowship gives help and hope to those on the edge of society in our city.

Loving Our Neighbors Through Loaves & Fishes

July 2, 2025

At Point Loma Community Presbyterian Church, we believe that experiencing Jesus and transforming our world go hand in hand—and one way we live that out is by supporting Loaves & Fishes, a vital food ministry right in our own Ocean Beach...
