WHAT WOULD JESUS DO?
The second greatest commandment is to love our neighbor as we love ourselves.​The Bible warns us that if our neighbor is in need and we bless them without doing anything about their needs, then we have not loved them. - James 2:15-16
MISSIONS
MISSIONS & OUTREACH
Our church is not an entity unto itself but is a community of Christians who love God and our neighbors. We believe that caring for others is what being a Christian is all about, and we are always seeking opportunities for our members to help their brothers and sisters locally, and around the world.
As a Christian family we always seek to take care of each other. If you are a member of Gilwood and have a need of any kind, please contact the Pastor or one of the current elders.
DISASTER RELIEF
THE PRESBYTERY
OF CHARLOTTE
COMMUNITY DISASTER RELIEF TEAM
Hurricane Relief
Flood Buckets
Currently Gilwood Presbyterian Church has four members that are part of The Presbytery of Charlotte Community Disaster Response Team. The mission of this team is “To provide opportunities to serve and support our church community’s response to disaster”. This team was formed in 1999 after Hurricane Floyd struck North Carolina.
WORLDWIDE HUNGER RELIEF
Crop Walk
Crop Walk benefits the hungry around the world and a large portion of the funds raised (25% last year) remain in the local community. It is usually a great afternoon to walk for a good cause. Anybody can participate in the walk. We usually have a number of our youth participating. This is an annual event, usually the first or second Sunday in October.
Mission Trips
In recent years Gilwood has sponsored fully-funded mission trips to El Salvador, West Virginia, and the Gulf Coast for members who felt called to participate.
