Marshall Presbyterian Church tithes their resources to outside missions and goes beyond the financial in their efforts to support local missions. Some of the ways are:
- volunteer time with Neighbors in Need
- Christmas gifts, a party, and pictures with Santa for children of local families in need, a gift basket for their fall festival auction, hosting meals and a weekend at Glory Ridge for Presbyterian Home for Children
- hosting meals for Madison County High School or Mars Hill students
- shipping gift boxes overseas through Samaritan's Purse
- securing grants for Appalachian Health Care for Neighbors in Need
- providing treats and photographs for trick-or-treaters during Marshall Safe Treat
- Donations to Madison County Education Foundation, Glory Ridge, and other local ministries
Internationally and locally, Marshall Presbyterian Church is dedicated to the missions of the PCUSA, especially with Cathy Chang and Juan Lopez as they serve in Asia to address the issues of migration and human trafficking.
Marshall Presbyterian Church is a designated supporter of Frank and Nancy Dimmock in Lesotho, Africa. Frank earned a B.S. in botany and zoology at North Carolina State University and an M.P.H. in epidemiology and tropical medicine from Tulane University School of Public Health in New Orleans. He had previously served as a volunteer in mission and later as a mission specialist in public health in Zaire before being appointed as a full-term, mission coworker. Born in the Democratic Republic of Congo (formerly Zaire), Nancy is the daughter of Presbyterian missionaries, David and Polly Miller, who served in Africa for 40 years. She has two degrees from North Carolina State University: a B.S. in animal science and a master's in international agricultural development and animal science. Before her marriage, she served as a livestock manager with the Peace Corps in Lesotho and worked as a ranch hand in Nebraska.

Join the fun! Each year Marshall Presbyterians go to work to support the Madison County Arts Council and Neighbors in Need with a hearty concession during the Art on the Island. These past few years members have stayed up all night BBQing in a large wood stove made by one of the members. All foods are donated by church members so that all sales can go to missions. The Neighbors in Need Crisis Fund enable Neighbor in Need staff to serve a need beyond food and home heating. THANK YOU to all who come for BBQ and support Neighbors in Need.
