Opportunities for Project Support
Our denomination provides the opportunity for persons and congregations to send money to specific mission causes called Extra Commitment Opportunities (ECO). Donations to specific projects go directly to the receiving project team. Due to the years of some neglect there are considerable needs in the Alaska Presbytery.
The list of projects shown below is a sample list of projects. More can be found on the Opportunity Giving Website, http://www.pcusa.org/give/online/. Donations can also be sent through the Presbytery office. Any size of donation is gratefully accepted.
