Welcome to Jefferson Presbyterian Church! Print

Jefferson Presbyterian Church has been proud to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ for almost 125 years!

One of the marks of the true church, as defined by the Protestant Reformers, is one in which the Word of God is rightly preached and taught. We strive to do exactly that. Our sermons examine the Scriptures and their meaning and attempt to connect them to our daily lives.

If you have a “Presbyterian background” and love good hymns, you will find that we still use the classic “red hymnbook”!

A Brief Message

Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ!

Thank you for visiting our web site. Whether you found it by accident or curiosity, I trust you will prayerfully consider a visit to Jefferson Presbyterian Church. I believe you will be touched by our enthusiastic spirit, warmth, and love of the Lord and one another.

The focus should always be on Jesus Christ and never the person in the pulpit, but let me share a few thoughts you may find helpful…

I realized my call to the ministry after working in public relations and corporate communications for many years. During that time, from a professional standpoint, I was never entirely happy. However, my greatest sense of peace and joy has come in discovering my true calling is to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ and in doing my best to minister to the needs of the congregation.

I absolutely love what I do!

In the few years that I have been preaching, I have discovered there is a real hunger for the Gospel of Jesus Christ. People are looking for substance and truth. I attempt to offer substance and proclaim the truth, seeking the Lord’s guidance in all that I do and say.

That said…

If you are hungry for messages that attempt to teach and inspire, come… let us learn and discover together.

If you have drifted from Christ, come “rediscover” the peace and comfort that can only be found in him.

If you have drifted from Church, come back to God’s house! Remember that the Bible instructs us to not forsake assembling ourselves together (Hebrews 10:25). In worship, part of the purpose is to encourage one another, learn from one another, and pray for one another.

If you are seeking a church home, pay us a visit! We would love to welcome you and worship with you!

We are charged with the responsibility to “go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” So, if you don't happen to be in our area or if you already have a church home, please pray for Jefferson Presbyterian Church as we try to fulfil that vital mission given us by our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ!

God bless you!
