Delafield Presbyterian Church

Mission trips add a depth to our service to the human community and help put us in touch with people who have often suffered great losses. Our trips also help to cement and grow relationships between people of the church that have a lasting benefit far after the trip has ended. Anyone wishing to join us on one of our trips is asked to please contact the church office for details.

In 2006 and 2007, our church family traveled to Westminster Presbyterian Church in Gulfport, where each time they spent a week helping to rebuild homes lost in Hurricane Katrina.

    In 2006, the group insulated and drywalled an entire home in Gulfport. They installed, taped, mudded, and sanded the drywall, and then painted the interior , preparing it for the installation of cabinets, fixtures, and baseboard.

In 2007, our mission team primarily helped to re-roof damaged homes.

Some of our mission members also worked at an ecumenical receiving and distribution warehouse, unloading two 53’ semi-trailers filled with furniture, beds and bedding, donated from a conference center in Pennsylvania. They also delivered some of the furniture to residents of Gulfport and
Pass Christian, Mississippi.

Last year, our mission team traveled to New Orleans to do similar work. Mission Team members stayed at the Oive Tree PDA Camp about 30 minutes from downtown and the French Quarter.

Our mission team members worked hard, laughed a lot, learned much, cried a little, and very well represented the compassion of Christ
to people still suffering the devastating affects of Katrina

Mission Trips


Youth Mission Trip
To Cedar Rapids, IA

    Youth of our church travelled to Cedar Rapids, Iowa to work on homes damaged or destroyed in last summer’s flooding.

    This was a work and educational trip to help connect our youth to the needs of the world and service in the name of Jesus Christ.


Adult Mission Trip
to New Orleans, LA
July 11-19

Members and friends of DPC headed back to Olive Tree PDA (Presbyterian Disaster Assitance) Center in July.

    They once again, worked on homes damaged by 2005’s Hurricane Katrina. The damage from that storm was so great
that there was still much work to be done.

If you are interested in participating in either or both of these opportunities, please contact the church office or speak with either Bob Jensen or Jennifer Franjevic following Sunday worship.

They would love to talk with you about these
important mission opportunities.
