music. The congregation, which has worshiped on this site for over
260 years offers meaningful worship, fellowship and an opportunity to grow
and share in the Christian faith.

Perhaps you are curious as to how a Presbyterian service differs from that
of other denominations, or what is unique to the theology. Rev. Bob
Heppenstall extends an invitation to meet and discuss such topics. Click on the
"Contact Us" link at the bottom of this page for information to schedule an
appointment. If you prefer, you may also consult online resources, such as the
PC(USA) web site: www.pcusa.org/navigation/whoweare.htm
Finally, it may also be of interest to know that a
New Members Class typically
forms in the Spring and Fall. The classes consist of
an afternoon meeting for all
levels of inquirers, and are held at Hilltop House on
Sunday afternoon. You will have the opportunity to meet with other new people, as well as a
pastor, to learn more about our church and denomination, while sharing in light
refreshments. Contact the church office for more information.
