Our Mission

The mission of the Old Presbyterian Meeting House is to love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, strength, and mind; to live humbly, act justly, show mercy, and love our neighbors— without exception—as ourselves.

We ground our common life in worship, prayer, and God’s Word as a community sustained in faith. We are committed to being disciples of Jesus Christ and inviting others to discipleship, to bearing witness to God’s love in word and deed, and to practicing compassion, pursuing justice, serving our neighbors, and extending God’s grace in the world.

Our Vision

The vision of the Old Presbyterian Meeting House (OPMH) is to provide a living reflection of God!s unconditional love, compassion, and mercy. We are called to be the body of Christ in the world, reflecting Jesus’s message of radical hospitality and unity.

We seek to be an authentic Christian community of grace and humility in a contemporary world that is often polarized, disorienting, and neglectful of those most in need—the very people Jesus calls us to serve. We see unmistakable signs of hope in our world; of people searching for connections, community, and civility.

For those people—for all people—we seek to provide a Christian alternative to a divided world. By the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, we are called to proclaim the Gospel so that God’s people will live into faith, hope, and love.

In pursuit of that vision, we will focus our collective efforts on:

We are called as Christians to be rooted in community, building strong and growing communal ties (1) within OPMH and (2) with the broader community in which we live:

Internally, we focus especially on Christian formation, providing opportunities for worship and education grounded in the Bible and Christian values and helping people find meaning and purpose as disciples on their Christian journey
Externally, we reclaim evangelism as the loving outreach beyond our congregation, focused on listening and striving to build community with all of our neighbors amid a seemingly distant, isolating world

We are called as Christians to approach all of our neighbors—no exceptions—with authentic Christianity, respectfully creating a space open to (and focused on) shared values and civil discourse

We will offer a safe space for finding common ground—a place in which we:

Foster respectful listening, assume positive intent, and proactively bring people together
Hold firmly to our Christian values as we respectfully engage our neighbor
