Serving the Community: Outreach Programs in Howard County

Outreach ministries provide us with the opportunity to mobilize and inspire our capacity to serve and help people in need. The Mission and Local Outreach Committee of the Christ Memorial Presbyterian Church (CMPC) is proud to support the work of numerous mission agencies in Howard County and Baltimore.
