South Jacksonville Presbyterian Church gives 10% of its revenues to mission endeavors outside our walls. We back up our mission dollars with active, “hands on” participation in ministries of mercy and justice.

- Children’s International Summer Villages, Inc.
- Crop Walk
- Downtown Ecumenical Services Council, Inc. (DESC)
- Mutual Mission with Jamaica
- Preschool Tuition Financial Assistance
- Sulzbacher Center for the Homeless
- The Sanctuary on 8th street
- The Souper Bowl of Caring
- Thornwell Home & School, Clinton, S.C.
Serving Jacksonville’s Southside for over 30 years, United Community Outreach Ministry (UCOM) goal is to support the members of our community in their time of need. UCOM helped over 2600 local residents with food assistance and an additional 2000 people with referrals to appropriate agencies in 2010.
Established in 1957, the St Augustine Presbytery’s Montgomery Presbyterian Center has grown to include a full array of summer camps and programs as well as year round meeting and banquet facilities, as well as lodging for groups or individuals. Located in Starke, FL on 187 acres with two spring fed lakes, “Camp Montgomery” is one of our church’s greatest assets.
Headed by our own Dr. Lou Lothman and housed on our campus at 2140 Mango Place, Pastoral Counseling Services offers individual, couples, and family pastoral counseling in a quiet, secure setting
Two Cents a Meal, with quarterly collections at SJPC , supports our brothers and sisters in mission in Jamaica. Click here for information about this program of our Presbytery.
The Congregational Care Committee at SJPC provides a number of ministries that serve the SJPC family. These activities give members an opportunity to use their gifts to serve others. Some of these opportunities are:
Shepherd for Christ ministry assists shut-ins, elderly, and handicapped members who are unable to participate regularly in the life of the church. Through visitation, cards, telephone cards and prayer, these members are kept close to our hearts. Contact Pastor Susan Takis for more information.
Homebound Communion, upon prior scheduling, provides the sacrament of communion to be celebrated with our homebound members by active and inactive SJPC elders and deacons.
