Presbyterians pursue something called the priesthood of all believers. This means that no one person in our church has all of the answers. Guided by an experienced pastor, we search together for what difference faith can mean to people, both in their own lives and in the lives of others. We feel that the Bible is timeless; the messages it offers are as fresh in today’s fast-changing world as they ever were.
As Presbyterians, we also draw on the many talents and gifts of the people in our congregation to operate our church. Leaders are members so we offer the chance for people to participate as much – or as little – as they like.
Our building has been a landmark for nearly 70 years. It’s busy seven days a week with worship, service projects, small group meetings, and more. Plus, our building hosts a variety of community and educational organizations.
To learn more, come and visit. We look forward to welcoming you!
