Welcome to John Knox Presbyterian Church.
Our mission statement is to know and honor God and follow the Son while loving and serving others.
Please join us Sunday mornings at our 9:30 a.m. Worship Service. We offer a blended worship that both honors our tradition with a choir and organ as well as embraces the more contemporary music style lead by our Praise Band. We celebrate our freedom in Christ by respecting all people and challenging everyone to explore true faithfulness.
Our church offers a variety of opportunities to grow in faith and become connected with each other through grace filled fellowship. We would be remiss in our calling as believers if we did not also encourage, equip, and offer opportunities to serve our communities. The mission of God is our mission and we seek to live out that mission first in our church and then into our communities and finally beyond our country's borders.
We would love to walk this journey with you, we hope to see you this Sunday.
