The Presbyterian Committee on the Self-Development of People is a ministry focused on affirming God's concern for humanity. It brings together Presbyterians and ecumenical partners who are united in their dissatisfaction with poverty and oppression. Through sharing, confronting, and enabling actions, this ministry participates in the empowerment of economically poor, oppressed, and disadvantaged people, striving to alter the structures that perpetuate poverty, oppression, and injustice.
