Our VisionGrounded in the biblical image for human community, as disciples of Jesus,
following His witness and command for His church,
guided by the principles of trust, open communication, and genuine relationships,
we will challenge and support our congregations to be thriving faith communities by
providing competent pastoral leadership,
resourcing to energize ministry, and
developing networks and partnerships of Presbyterians.
Celebrate Presbyterian HeritagePresbyterian Heritage Sunday has been set aside by the General Assembly of the PC(USA) as an annual day to celebrate, reflect upon, and learn more about the long and rich history of the Presbyterian movement in America. It falls on the Sunday closest to May 21, the date of the opening of the first General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America in 1789. The Presbyterian Historical Society supports Heritage Sunday by preparing bulletin inserts for use by congregations throughout the United States. 2013 Heritage Sunday
