Our Mission & Vision
At First Presbyterian Church of Greenwich, our mission is to witness for Christ and serve our neighbors near and far. We are committed to fostering a community of faith that actively engages in local outreach and global missions, bringing hope, healing, and justice to a broken world. Guided by the Holy Spirit, we seek to be a light in the darkness through transformative action and unwavering compassion.

Call-A-Ride
Call-A-Ride was established in 1975. It was the brainchild (and dream) of Elaine Reddin (a devoted member of First Presbyterian Church), Rev. George Pera of First Presbyterian Church of Greenwich, and Father Vincent O’Connor of St. Catherine’s in Old Greenwich. Together they recognized the need and opportunity to serve the over 60-year-old residents of Greenwich to access the locations and resources that provide them medical services, physical activity, and vital social interaction.
Call A Ride is now an independent organization with its own Board using office space in the main church building and parking space in the municipal lot on Lafayette Place.
Partnership to End Human Trafficking (PEHT)
We partner with PEHT to combat the global crisis of human trafficking through education, advocacy, and direct support for survivors, bringing hope and restoration to the most vulnerable.
Faith and Overcoming Racial Bias
Our global missions extend to addressing systemic inequality. Through faith-led initiatives, we engage in cross-cultural dialogue and education to dismantle racial bias and foster true biblical reconciliation.
Summits Education - Haiti
We support Summits Education in Haiti to provide quality schooling and vocational training. By investing in education, we empower the next generation with the tools needed to break the cycle of poverty.
