We’re one of the liveliest Presbyterian congregations in Northeastern Pennsylvania.

Around the world, millions of people lack access to sustainable food sources, clean water, sanitation, education, and opportunity. The work done in support of the causes supported by One Great Hour of Sharing (OGHS) serves individuals and communities in need. This work provides people with safety, sustenance, and hope.

The Presbyterian Church (USA) is governed by its Book of Order. More than a mere “rule book”, the Book of Order is a collection of wisdom, a statement of our church’s values, and reasonable operating principles for how the church of Jesus Christ will do its work in the world. The Presbyterian Book of Order is available for download.

The 120-year old Presbyterian Mission Yearbook for Prayer & Study has become an online-only free digital resource. This move broadens the reach of the book’s audience by sharing its inspiring content in a timelier manner and also demonstrates good stewardship of church resources. The Mission Yearbook dates back to 1892 as a simple calendar of prayer to help women’s societies pray for missionaries on designated days. It has the longest history of any denominational mission and prayer book in the United States.
