To speak truth, change hearts, and save lives.
To equip our members with the knowledge of the sanctity of life and opportunities to uphold our Sanctity of Life ECO Essential Tenets of Faith: “We recognize and honor the image of God in every human being from conception to natural death.”
The Light & Life Ministry educates and encourages our members to be gospel-driven champions for life by:
Raising awareness and shedding light on the devastating effects of abortion.
Providing resources for restorative care and healing for women and men who have
experienced child loss due to abortion or miscarriage.
Equipping Christians to make a persuasive case for life from a biblical perspective.
Educating our congregation on the sanctity of life legal issues and protections.
Being an outreach ministry in and to our community.
Some of our activities:
Teach in Sunday morning adult Life Groups.
Speak from the pulpit annually on Sanctity of Life Sunday.
Hold fundraisers on Mother's Day for our local pregnancy care center.
Participate in educational conferences where we advise other Presbyterian churches on how to start their own Life Team ministries.
Invite local pro-life ministries to have an exhibit when we have events on the sanctity of life.
Update from the 2024 ECO Conference
PPL's Executive Director reported that our exhibit at ECO "Metanoia" 2024, in partnership with FPC's Light and Life Ministry team, drew many eager visitors. ECO pastors, ministry leaders, and lay leaders representing several states and countries such as the UK, Ukraine, and Brazil. The interest areas that seemed to unify all were the topics of Life Teams, end-of-life issues, and suicide. One Breakout Session speaker was encouraged by the infographics on suicide which she was highlighting as her topic that day.
God faithfully provided for specific needs in other ways, opening the door for a conversation with a local PCA pastor in Greenville,

Speak Up for Life Conference
Do you believe we are all made in the image of God and that every life, no matter how small, has dignity, and value and is sacred to God? Scriptures tell us God created mankind in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. Genesis 1:27
