Riverdale Presbyterian Church supports a wide variety of national, inter-national and local mission organizations.  Thank-you to members of the Mission Committee, chaired by Bill Cammack for all their efforts.  If you have any ideas or suggestions concerning our Mission giving, feel free to contact Bill.

Our 2009 Youth Mission Trip took our Senior High youth to Inward Bound, Cleveland where we worked at Cleveland Area Food Bank, Trinity Community Garden and painted a house and garage for Fresh Coat Cleveland. For fun we went to a Lake Erie beach, watched the Cleveland Indians win in extra innings and went to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Special Mission Offerings have been used to support the victims of hurricanes to the south.  We have also raised funds to establish a Refugee Relief Fund to assist families of our Church–who are new to us, and our nation–settle into our community.  We have two families of our Church who are in America having been granted political asylum.
