Music Ministry - Praise God with Music! If you have love for music, you are invited to join our Chancel Choir which meets at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday evenings, and sings for the 10:00 service each Sunday. There are also opportunities to minister if you enjoy singing solos, duets, or ensembles. We are also looking for people to play in the Hand Bell Choir. Contact Shirley Federico, Music Director, if you have an interest.
Christian Education - The Presbyterian Church (USA) has a lifelong commitment to education and faith development. We strive to provide many opportunities for the spiritual growth of our members. Two are dedicated to Bible study, with a third discussing "World News & Biblical Views". Additional Bible studies are held throughout the year.
Mission Activity - In addition to several ongoing activites, such as Habitat for Humanity, Gift Baskets for Thanksgiving and Christmas, and the Heifer Project, we provide a Food Pantry, contribute items for Beth El farm workers, participate in the CROP Walk for world hunger, and sponsor various projects throughout the year. There is a mission fair each year to highlight these programs. We are always looking for volunteers for the Food Pantry Ministry. Click here to volunteer online!
Presbyterian Women - Every women in the church is a member of the Presbyterian Women! There are various activities throughout the year such as an English Tea and a Lenten Communion Breakfast. The women meet four times a year for luncheon and program. There are also three Circle Groups that meet each month. Two meet in homes for Bible study and the third meets twice a month at the church to make quilts for each bed in every Habitat for Humanity home built in Citrus County.
Presbyterian Men - The men meet for breakfast on the second Saturday of each month. In addition to interesting programs, they help with repairs and cleanup around the church property, and sponsor fundraisers such as spaghetti dinners. They also build a storage shed for each new Habitat for Humanity home.
Other Ministry & Fellowship Opportunities - Bear Craft Ministry, Friday Night at Our House, programs, game night, Movie Night, Birthday Celebration, and potluck dinners are some of the additional opportunities for the congregation to socialize and minister.

What area of ministry are you interested in volunteering?
Our Food Pantry is open Tuesday from 10:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. The Food Pantry is located in the ministry building of First Presbyterian Church Crystal River, 1501 SE Hwy 19.

You will also need to provide the names and ages of everyone in the household receiving food.
We try to provide enough food for several meals for your family. All of our food is provided by the
generous people in our church and community. We are always looking for donations and
volunteers to help.
We also need volunteers to help pack bags, greet food pantry guests, and data entry volunteers.
