Avondale Presbyterian Church

About Us

Called to love God, love one another, and serve community.

Who we are here at Avondale.

We are a community of people eager to grow our faith spiritually, emotionally, and intellectually. We grapple with God’s Word, try to understand God’s plans for our lives, find comfort in God’s grace, and celebrate the joy of God’s love. We recognize that close relationships can nudge and encourage faith, so we seek to know each other, not only by our names, but by the different gifts and talents behind them. We are affiliated with the Presbyterian Church (USA) and believe that we’re made whole through the grace of Jesus Christ. We welcome all who want to deepen their faith or are curious about Christianity.

An awesome band, casual dress, warm people, deep messages, service on the screen, spiritual messages, and held in our Family Life Center. Our 11AM Worship is a traditional service and is held in our Sanctuary. Our two pastors, Dr. John Earl and Rev. Christopher Lee share intellectual sermons with humor accompanied by a traditional worship format and your favorite Lord's prayer and doxology. We have a choir, handbells choir, and youth choir. Warm fellowship, medium size church, lovely campus.
