Outreach
Global Outreach
We believe in helping others.
Our mission is to serve our neighbors, locally here in Virginia Beach, nationally, and around the world.
KGPC takes occasional Mission Trips both nationally and internationally to places like the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Florida, Mexico, Arizona, and South Dakota to serve those in need.
Compassion International is a nonprofit that works to solve the international food crisis with communities that are particularly vulnerable. KGPC participates by sponsoring a number of children as well as hosting the Compassion Walk which raises awareness of the problem.

We partner with two sister churches in the Democratic Republic of the Congo to bring Christ’s love to Christians in Africa.The connection between Presbyterians in eastern Virginia and the Democratic Republic of the Congo dates back to 1891, when William Sheppard from the Hampton Institute, along with Samuel Lapsley, founded the American Presbyterian Congo Mission at Luebo in Belgian Congo. Many of the churches in the Presbytery have sister churches in the DRC. Kings Grant has a partnership with two Democratic Republic of the Congo Presbyterian Church Community of Kinshasa (CPK)churches Salembao and Anunga.
