Mission Statement: Potwin Presbyterian Church is a safe and sacred place to worship God where Christ’s love is revealed through actively and joyfully sharing, caring, and giving to others in our congregation, community, and world.
We feel called by God to serve in the following ministry areas:
- Feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, etc. (Matthew 25: 31-46)
- Improving the lives of children in our neighborhood, state, country and world. (Matthew 10: 40-42)
- Encouraging human creativity as inspired by our Great Creator through music, art, drama, etc. (Genesis 1:1-5)
- Provide a space for the healing powers of Christ to work through us. (John 21:15)
We welcome all who would come join us in this work. Please explore this website to learn more and to find ways in which you can partner with us in worship and ministry.
