Learn more about what the Peacemaking Offering supports
Presbyterians will contribute approximately $2,000,000 to the Peacemaking Offering in 2010 to support ministries that seek peace and work for justice across the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.).
Each congregation that receives the Peacemaking Offering is encouraged to keep 25 percent for ministries of peacemaking within the congregation and its community. Presbyteries and synods divide another 25 percent to support their ministries.
The General Assembly Mission Council receives 50 percent of the offering. Peacemaking Offering funds amounting to $1,002,023 were budgeted for use by GAMC programs in 2010.
The Presbyterian Peacemaking Program receives the largest part of this portion of the offering. The Presbyterian Ministry at the United Nations receives a small amount. Guided by its original mandate, Peacemaking: The Believers’ Calling, and the General Assembly, the program assists the church as it responds to God’s call to “seek peace and pursue it” (1 Peter 3:11). In accordance with 218th and 219th General Assembly actions, the program joins with the whole church’s commitment to “Grow Christ’s Church Deep and Wide.” Therefore, the Presbyterian Peacemaking Program seeks specific ways to help the church grow in evangelism, discipleship, servanthood, and diversity.
