 We believe that as Christians it is our job to care for the world around us. Currently our church is involved with a number of ministries that seek to feed the hungry, work for justice and to spread the love of Christ in our communities and around the world. There are many opportunities to get involved, so check back with this page often or contact

Short Term Missions
Every year our church sends teams around the world to serve others and to demonstrate God's love for all people. In the past year teams have been sent to India, Guatemala and the Youth Group spent a week teaching VBS in Mexico. These trips are always life changing, both for the people going and the people we serve!
Local Initiatives
Our church partners with a number of different organizations in the San Gabriel Valley in order to impact those who are less fortunate that we are. La Casa Community Center seeks to overcome poverty by providing English classes, job training and emergency assistance to low income families. We also work with People for People which is a Christian organization that distributes food and clothing for those in need.
International Students
Our church also serves students from other countries through a Christian ministry called International Students, Inc. This is an incredible group that seeks to build friendships with international students, cares for them and shares about God's incredible love for all people. This vibrant ministry is always looking for friendly people to help out. For more information, please contact Calvin and Priscilla Hai.

At San Gabriel Presbyterian Church, our mission is to be a community that lives out the Great Commandment (Matt. 22:36-40) and the Great Commission (Matt 28:19-20).
The Great Commandment
"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment of the Law?" Jesus replied: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."
The Great Commission
"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I will be with you always, to the very end of the age."
We do this by seeking to fulfill 5 key purposes:
Worship – loving God and being in relationship with Him.
Fellowship – loving and caring for one another
Discipleship – becoming like Jesus in thought, character, and action.
Ministry – serving God and one another with our gifts and talents.
Mission – sharing the Gospel, both at home and abroad.
