What is Missional Living?
Missional living is the adoption of the posture, thinking, behaviors, and practices of a missionary in order to engage others with the Gospel message of Jesus Christ.
Local Missions that the Church supports
The Food Pantry ministry is held at the Church every ***OTHER***Tuesday morning from 9am – 11am.
The food pantry is well supported by the members of the church. Donations of Can goods, Boxed or bagged dry items, and financial contributions are much needed to support the hundreds of families who receive food weekly. If you are interested in volunteering for this very worthwhile mission (helping those in need in your own neighborhood) please contact the church office at 386-789-3200.
Deltona Presbyterian donates to this program. The Florida Guardian ad Litem Program is a powerful and effective voice advocating for the best interests of Florida’s abused, abandoned and neglected children and be recognized and respected as a partnership of community advocates and professional staff. To the fullest extent possible, this vision will be realized through volunteers who will advocate as Guardians ad Litem for the children they serve.

Being a member of at Deltona Presbyterian Church is saying Yes to the Family and Yes to the Mission that God has given us. As Christians, don’t we believe that Life Is More… when it’s lived with Jesus? Believing that to be true, don’t we want those we love most to also believe and experience that reality? And so locally we provide a Food Pantry every other week inside the church in our Fellowship Hall. Caned goods, bread, pastries and meat are handed out to those who are in need. We support Guardian Ad Litem: monetarily monthly and with donations of needed items. At Christmas time we donate many toys, pjs and other requested items for the children. We also locally support Ethos 360, which helps two retired missionaries. But what about Globally? We believe we are called to bring the Gospel to the ends of the earth. And so we are invested in Wycliff Bible Translators, who are doing God’s work by translating the Bible into the native languages of unreached people groups. And we also give funds to missionaries associated with Alongside and Interserve.
