Christ Presbyterian Church of the Slate Belt

We are called to be love in the world. That is our new mission statement here at Christ Presbyterian Church of the Slate Belt. Love – the love that Jesus so often spoke about and commanded us to follow.

Jesus was asked what the greatest commandment was and he replied: Love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength and the second greatest was to love your neighbor as you love yourself. Paul summed up all the law into the second greatest commandment.

We are called to be love in the world. And, we hope our values align with that love: • We believe every person matters regardless of background or status, ethnicity, gender, or sexual orientation

• We believe we need to meet people where they are not where we think they should be

• We believe that God is inclusive not exclusive

• We believe we need to be non-judgmental, unbiased, affirming, and justice oriented

• We believe that prayer is the foundation of our life together

• We believe that we need to be the best examples of God’s love and healing

May you know how much you are loved by the God who first loved us, so that we would know how to love. May you find a place of belonging here.

The First Presbyterian was comprised of predominantly English, while the Peniel Presbyterian Church began as a Welsh speaking Presbyterian Church. The Roseto Presbyterian church served the Italian residents of Roseto and Faith United Presbyterian Church served residents of Pen Argyl. These varied ethnic backgrounds have provided the Parish with a proud heritage.

The many important achievements of each individual church are too numerous to mention, but the cultural background and heritage of each church have through the years fulfilled a common need; to glorify our love of God and His gifts of Jesus Christ to humankind.

We welcome all who worship here. Our church doors are open wide to any who come seeking God’s presence and healing, and the fellowship of Christian community. We invite you to make this your church home.
