Welcome to Fourth Presbyterian Church
Our Purpose & Method
To help people create the lives of deep meaning, wholeness, peace, and joy they seek. We do this in a relationship with God through Christ and through the study and practice of the values of our faith.
Our Values
1. We believe in a God who loves all people, saves all people, and is available to all people.
2. We stand on the side of love, compassion, joy, forgiveness, generosity, accountability, hospitality, honesty, justice, faith and peace.
3. We stand against hate, violence, indifference, oppression and judgement.
4. We resist within ourselves temptations toward greed, selfishness, worry, dishonesty, envy, arrogance, and idolatry.
5. We strive to grow in these values through a commitment to worship, service, prayer, study, and fellowship
*At Fourth Presbyterian Church we don't tell you what to believe about your Christian faith, instead we hope the experience you have at Fourth helps you clarify for yourself what you believe and why.*
