Mission is central to the purpose and identity of the church. God has called and commanded us through Christ to love and care for others in our community, state, nation and world. The Mission & Action Committee helps First Parish Church maintain an awareness of needs and a program for working to fulfill those needs. The Committee plans and carries our specific mission projects and programs and provides direction for the church's expenditure of funds for these purposes. It is our long-term goal as a "Mission" church to have every member of First Parish acutely aware of our church's mission focus and actions locally, nationally, and globally, and to have each person actively participating in mission projects.

First Parish Church Missions in our country and community are: Our Partnership with Zimbabwe, our relationship with New Life in New York City, our Logos youth program, Thanksgiving Baskets, and White Gifts Program.
