We are a Matthew 25 Presbytery
We are a Matthew 25 Presbytery, dedicated to upholding the tenets and doing the ministry of the Matthew 25 Initiative of the Presbyterian Church USA.
We do hereby commit to become a Matthew 25 mid council. We pledge to encourage 20% or more of our congregations to become Matthew 25 churches and embrace these areas of focus:
- Building congregational vitality
- Dismantling structural racism
- Eradicating systemic poverty
We promise to keep track of the impact of our ministry and share our stories with the PC(USA) from time to time.
