Offering Time, Talent, and Money to God's Work through FPC Milton
As a missional church, everything we do is mission. For us, that means that worship, outreach, our care for one another, our care for buildings and land, and our stewardship of money must bear witness to Christ’s life-saving ministry and life-sharing community. It means we don’t hoard resources for the sake of accumulation, but spend them as testimony to the transformative power of the gospel. It means every dollar donated is revered as sacrificial love from the giver, and thus goes to further God’s project of love in us, through us, and in the world.

Doing Mission from FPC Milton
In everything we do, whether our worship, mission, fellowship, stewardship, FPC Milton seeks to bear witness to a God who rescues, delivers, heals, and welcomes home with open, loving arms. We seek to offer this witness with joy, love, imagination, and energy.
Outreach Ministry
Our congregation is deeply committed to connecting those in need with assistance. Through our ministry partner Offentsive, we seek out those struggling with substance abuse, homelessness, mental illness, human trafficking. We seek them out on the streets, in encampments, in abandoned barns, in parking lots.
Through our Pop-Up Hot Dog Ministry, we offer the simple gift of food to those we find on the streets of Escambia County or the backwoods of Santa Rosa, sometimes spontaneously, other times as a planned and advertised event.
Seasonally, our garden is open to any person who needs or wants fresh food anytime of the day or night. Like grace, this food grown from the ground, is free to everyone.
Ministry of Inclusion
FPC is proud to become a chapter of Emerald Coast Pflag--an organization devoted to supporting and raising awareness for the concerns of the LGBTQ+ community. Our monthly support group offers a healing and safe space for those struggling with society's rejection, and the isolation and shame it can create. The group and its efforts are life-saving, especially for teens and young adults who can experience feelings of worthlessness and profound loneliness, making them more at risk for ending their own lives. Milton Pflag meetings will begin January 18th, 6 p.m. in FPC Milton's Fellowship Hall. If you or someone you love needs the experience of Good Shepherd enfolding, the healing of being welcomed back home, we welcome you to the meeting and look forward to experiencing again, being bolstered by the healing love of Christ working in and among us.
Ministry to God's Creation
First Presbyterian Church of Milton recognizes the Earth and the universe as God's unfixed Creation, always changing, adapting, evolving. We understand our stewardship of Creation to be a responsibility of care and concern, of sacrifice and of conservation of the abundant, but limited resources we are provided. Part of this ministry is the community garden we build and plant and tend together. Part of it is continued education about the dangers of plastic and other waste and how to limit its use in our day to day lives. Every day we seek a deeper understanding of how we can best honor our place among Creation, as Creation.

Offentsive
Offentsive is an organization devoted to reaching out to those lost and forgotten...not theoretically, or with some vague spirituality, but physically, emotionally, and morally. FPC Milton considers Offentsive the outreach arm of our mission as a congregation.
The Outreach Angels who search the streets, the woods, abandoned buildings, and parking lots for those suffering don't call it Good Shepherd work, but we do. The spiritual significance of this organization's actions is that they save, comfort, companion, and welcome in those who are lost, just as the Good Shepherd did. Just as the Good Shepherd promised. Just as the Good Shepherd commanded.
So when we say "they", we mean "we". Their work is our work and we stand behind their efforts with all the power and compassion of our faith in a God who saves us.
Offentsive was founded on grief, the loss of those loved to the awful realities of Substance Abuse Disorder, but it is sustained by hope, by the truth that it is possible to recover, to reduce harm.It began by seeking out those struggling with substance abuse--not waiting for their arrival, but truly seeking out. On its way, it encountered all the horrors that accompany addiction--including living without shelter or protection, struggling to find food or to meet basic needs, becoming the victim of trafficking and exploitation, becoming completely isolated from organizations or people who could help.
Sometimes the substance abuse came first. Sometimes becoming unsheltered did. Sometimes the mental illness. Sometimes the trafficking. "Cause", "effect," or "correlation"..whatever it is and whatever we call it, it really doesn't matter. All these roads lead to the same horrific destination--profound vulnerability to the darkest currents of the world, to suffering, often to death. This is what the folks who volunteer and lead the efforts of Offentsive cannot bear.
So, Offentsive's Outreach Angels search abandoned barns and alleyways, parking lots and tent camps, backwood hideouts. They come alongside, not pressuring, but inviting, building relationship, enfolding. When someone is ready for help, they are there. Their G.O.A.T. team searches out every form of assistance available to meet the specific needs of those they encounter. Offentsive's Camp O in Pensacola, gives shelter, food, clothing, and assistance to 13 women.
Bottom line--you don't have to be part of FPC Milton's worshiping community to be part of our mission. When you volunteer or donate or give in any way to Offentsive, you bear witness to the character of a loving, life-saving God who always, always searches out the most vulnerable, the oppressed, the exploited and the lost, welcoming them home to the safety of the fold. Basically, you help us save lives and reduce harm, and in so doing, help us become the living body of Christ in an aching world who longs for, needs Christ's love.
