Harbor Presbyterian Church desires to be a church that is both in the city of San Diego and for the city of San Diego. We strive to be for the city by demonstrating mercy and love toward those in need throughout the city. We do this by connecting volunteers to the opportunities for service, by connecting your passion to a program that can use it to impact the lives of others, and by connecting financial resources to organizations that can use them to meet the needs of those in our city.
Our basic strategy is to gather individuals into teams and then connect the team to a ministry partner where they can serve and put their passion into practice. To learn more about our ministry partners and the ways to be involved with one of our teams, click on the links below.
