Community Partner: First Presbyterian of Moncks Corner

Collegiate Challenge Partners

Over the years, First Presbyterian has supported us through countless events and contributions. Thanks to their efforts, we've been able to house and feed hundreds of college students participating in our Collegiate Challenge program. Students from all over the country have the opportunity to come down for their Spring Break (or as we like to call “Sweat Break”) to our community of Berkeley County and make a difference in the lives around them. This program not only provides students with valuable hands-on experience in construction and community service but also fosters a spirit of giving and camaraderie that extends far beyond the worksite. We would like to give a special thanks to all the men and women from First Presbyterian of Moncks Corner who give of their time and resources to make things happen.

Henry Bonner Offering

First Presbyterian's commitment to monthly giving and their generous Henry Bonner offering have provided us with the financial stability needed to plan and execute our projects. Their ongoing support ensures that we can continue to build homes for families in need, creating a ripple effect of positive change throughout our community.

Henry Bonner born 1924 in McClellanville, SC - WWII veteran, graduated from Erskine College, earned his Masters from UNC - Chapel Hill and also studied at USC. He had a long and distinguished career in public education. Serving as a coach, teacher, principal, and later Superintendent of Berkeley County Schools from 1959 - 1989. Henry E. Bonner Elementary School in Macedonia is named in his honor. He retired right before Hurricane Hugo in 1989. Henry did not rest in retirement. He became active in many endeavors in the community and chaired the Habitat for Humanity effort in Berkeley County. Henry died July 3, 2007. Every February, First Presbyterian of Moncks Corner honors his legacy by inviting a Habitat family to come share their story with the FPMC family; they also do a memorial offering for their Henry Bonner Fund created to honor his vital influence on Habitat for Humanity of Berkeley County and the difference it continues to make in our community. 

Continued Monthly Giving

The partnership between Berkeley Habitat and First Presbyterian of Moncks Corner exemplifies what can be achieved when a community comes together with a shared vision. We are deeply grateful for their contributions and look forward to many more years of collaboration, working side by side to build a brighter future for everyone. We greatly appreciate their monthly contribution and intentionality through having a fund set aside in their tithe for giving back to the community in a practical way.
