MISSION
The Mission group supports, sustains, and promotes long-term SPC Mission projects, providing opportunities for our families and friends to serve in communities of need. We support four major mission programs that are focal points for our service outreach efforts, led by amazing, talented, and inspirational people. They are described below, and each has its own link for more information here: Bridge the Gap College Prep in nearby Marin City, Leon Mission Partners in Mexico, Children’s AIDS Art Programme, and Tangible Hope Foundation.

BRIDGE THE GAP COLLEGE PREP
gets great write up in Pacific Sun, in print and on-line versions, June 2015
“College Prep gives Marin City kids opportunities to succeed”
Bridge the Gap was founded in 1995 and began as a 100% volunteer grass roots effort by people who wanted to make a positive impact in the lives of children living in Marin City by tutoring one-on-one. With the help of funding from Sausalito Presbyterian Church, the Marin Community Foundation, and various local organizations, the program gradually expanded and is now the shining light of our Mission work, as well as one of the premier youth tutoring programs in the country.

LEON MISSION PARTNERS, MEXICO
Leon Mission Partners was initiated by our church in 1994 to help street children and indigenous families of Leon, Mexico by providing money and supplies, building small apartments, a chapel, and a small schoolroom, and providing bedding, clothing, and educational toys. Over the years, many trips have been made by volunteers, both youth and adults, to carry down all the donated supplies, help build the simple housing for indigenous families, provide medical services, and paint and fix up several facilities that house the street children.
