Our Involvement
- In the Copan and Tegucigalpa regions, we have taken members and friends on several week-long trips to work alongside Hondurans on a variety of projects. Community development in Honduras is a partnership between US Presbyteries and Churches along with Honduran leaders to help with a variety of projects.
- We have sponsored Theological Training, Seed Planting, Food Bags, Student Scholoarships, Solar and Water systems, Chuch and Home Building Projects.
- We have members involved in a monthly “Honduran Network Call” to stay up-to-date on the current events with our friends.
The History of the Presbytery of Honduras
The Presbyterian Church of Honduras was founded in the 1950’s by lay Presbyterian immigrants from Guatemala. The original churches were in the Southeastern cities of Guimaca and Tegucigalpa. Since then, by the work of the Holy Spirit, the church has expanded rapidly, with 27 current congregations, mostly in the southeastern part of the country. First United Presbyterian Church has been active in supporting the work of the presbytery of Honduras in theological education, leadership training, financial support of pastors and their families, and scholarships enabling Honduran youth to finish high school. Efforts are being made to establish new congregations in the western department of Copan, where the US-Honduran community development work has flourished.
