What does it mean to be Presbyterian?
Presbyterians look to Jesus Christ alone for salvation. The Holy Scriptures are our final authority in faith and life. We are guided by our Book of Confessions which is comprised of Christian creeds ranging from the 4th century to 1991.
From the local church session to the national Presbyterian General Assembly, there is an elective process which assures that Presbyterians are governed by the membership.
Presbyterians have a strong heritage of ministering to the whole person ~ heart, body, mind, and spirit.
How do I join?
Inquirers classes are offered twice a year when a "critical mass" of interested people exists.
We hope that you will feel at home at this fellowship. However, if you don't, we pray that you will find a church home where you can worship & serve the Lord with heart, body, mind, & soul.
