Priest Lake is a small church doing big things!
In response to Christ’s reminder, “Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these… you did it to me,” Priest Lake Presbyterian Church believes strongly in community outreach as a way to deepen our relationship with God and with our fellow man.

Angaza Nuru
Angaza Nuru When the Oyaro family came to PLPC from Kenya, no one knew how much God would use them to transform the hearts and minds of the church. Pastor Richard and his wife Elizabeth serve a mission congregation in Bodoi, Kenya. They came to the United States to visit their daughters, but health concerns have kept them here in the states. The whole Oyaro family helped PLPC to become aware of the needs of the small and ” forgotten”…

Community Garden
The Community Garden is located on our property and invites gardeners from the neighborhood to participate in the work and in the harvest. All harvest is brought to Smith Springs Community Center for distribution to our neighbors.
Blessing Box
What began in the Summer of 2020 as an extension of our Garden Ministry, has become a ministry all it’s own. The Blessing Box provides an opportunity for our congregation and community to share with one another non-perishable food, toiletries, and school supplies. The motto is “Take what you need, Share what you can”. The Blessing Box is located on the front porch of the cabin.
The Branch
Jesus taught us to love our neighbors. One way we show our love is to help feed our neighbors in need. The Branch is a food pantry on Tusculum Road that serves 300 families weekly with food and household supplies. PLPC makes financial contributions as well as a team of volunteers who offer their time and physical work to sort and pack groceries. x
Smith Springs Community Center
The Smith Springs Community Center is our next-door neighbor. We partner with them each summer to celebrate our neighborhood with a free Community Fun Day. Come out to enjoy free food, games and prizes, water slide, police horses, and fellowship. It’s our way of saying, “we love our neighbors”. We also share the abundant vegetables from our garden with the Community Center. We’ve done a reading program with them and also shared our crafts and hobbies.
Smith Springs and Una Elementary schools
Smith Springs Elementary and Una elementary schools are our neighbors as well. Twice a year we provide food boxes for needy families in these schools and recognition for the dedicated teachers who serve our children.
