Supported Missions

In addition to community outreach, Rhawnhurst Presbyterian Church donates to and supports the following missions:

Whosoever Gospel Mission

The Whosoever Gospel Mission is a Christian nonprofit organization whose purpose is to provide shelter, food, clothing, education, counseling, rehabilitation and other assistance to homeless and/or needy men (and hopefully one day also women and children) in the Philadelphia Metropolitan Area.  As the lighted sign on our rooftop proclaims each night, we seek to offer the love of Jesus and the hope of the Gospel in both word and deed to those who are hurting.  We operate our residential New Life Program for homeless men year-round, and we anticipate opening Hannah’s Place, a residential facility for homeless or needy moms and their young children, in the future.  Click here to take a video tour of our New Life Program.

The Whosoever Gospel Mission is supported primarily through donor contributions, grants and revenue generated through our thrift store operations.  The Mission is governed by an interdenominational Board of Directors and offers its services without charge and regardless of race, ethnic origin, religion or age.  To get involved or to learn more, visit their website, Whosoever Gospel Mission.

Operation Christmas Child

Operation Christmas Child is a project of Samaritan’s Purse, an international relief organization. Our mission is to provide local partners around the world with shoeboxes filled with small toys, hygiene items, and school supplies as a means of reaching out to children in their own communities with the Good News of Jesus Christ. We ship these simple gifts outside the United States to children affected by war, poverty, natural disaster, famine, and disease; and to children living on Native American reservations in the U.S.  To learn more about this mission, visit Operation Christmas Child | Shoebox Outreach of Samaritan’s Purse (samaritanspurse.org)

Rhawnhurst Presbyterian Church is a collection center in Northeast Philadelphia.  In 2022, we collected 2,361 boxes at our church from those churches in the area who participate in this amazing mission.
