West Fayette Presbyterian Church
The Small Church with a Big Heart
About Us
West Fayette has a small but vibrant congregation of about 30 generous souls. In spite of our size, the church boasts many accomplishments, such as being the highest per capita giver in the Northeast to the Church Blanket fund which provides blankets for international and local emergencies, and being a strong supporter of the Seneca County House of Concern. Our church barbecues are a local favorite and one bleak January we sold out during a blizzard. In 1998 we celebrated the 175th anniversary of our founding. In spite of huge changes in our area's demographics, West Fayette provides strong spiritual nourishment and community involvement, and our members are known throughout the area for our openness to all and out passion for service to our God and all people.
