We are a fellowship:
- of disciples (students) of the crucified and risen Lord, Jesus Christ, in the “Presbyterian Church, USA”
- with A 174 year continuum of Christ’s palpable and loving presence in this community-and yet we’re a younger, family-oriented church with a focus on God’s dream for Erie.
- with the caring nature of a community church “where everyone knows your name” and an unwritten code about who can belong or how you must dress doesn’t exist.
- with cosmopolitan-like diversity of age, giftedness, and experience (from business owners to lawyers, from social service providers to teachers, from non-profit reps to nurses, from candy consultants to accountants) .
- of several growth accomplishments in recent years to equip its future outreach (i.e. ample paved parking, handicapped-accessibility elevator, large enhanced picnic pavilion) .
- with a love for children and youth and how their gifts can be used in the life of the church NOW, not sometime in the future.
- with a great location to the larger community (the intersection of I-90 & Rt. 8).
- where good music and good preaching are complemented by a desire to provide a re-creative & dynamic worship experience every time we meet.
