As stated in our purpose, at Heritage Presbyterian Church "we strive to be a Spirit-inspired,
mission-minded community of Christians ..." All members, friends and visitors are encouraged to participate in our outreach efforts whether through their gifts of time and talent and/or with financial gifts and offerings. Heritage is a "Five for Five" church in that we contribute to basic mission support of the Presbyterian Church (USA) and participate in the four church-wide special offerings - One Great Hour of Sharing, Pentecost Offering, Peacemaking Offering, and the Christmas Joy Offering. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Susan Palmer at 703-768-2319 or ppalmersc@aol.com.
