Sharing Your Generosity Due to your generous giving, DCPC had a budget surplus in 2025. In line with our annual budget, the Session of DCPC set aside 15% of that surplus for missions. Our missions committees chose to allocate that money to: the Sigona Academy in Kenya, for the purchase of furniture for the new classrooms we helped fund in 2025; the Ada Jenkins Center in Davidson, to refurbish a mobile dental clinic as a mobile shower and laundry facility; and Caterpillar Ministries, for their work in the Huntington Green neighborhood in Huntersville. Thank you for supporting our mission partners with your generous giving to DCPC!
