First Presbyterian Church of Philipstown

Mission

The mission of the First Presbyterian Church of Philipstown is to act as God’s hands
to bring healing to the broken places in our community and world.
To do so means that we must be a community of faith that actively seeks nurture from the Spirit,
as individuals and collectively as the body of Christ.
God calls the First Presbyterian Church of Philipstown
to be disciples of Christ to one another in the church by
(1) providing inspiring worship through reflective preaching, music, and arts;
(2) developing a strong Christian education program;
(3) promoting spiritual growth;
(4) providing pastoral care in its broadest sense; and
(5) building a sound financial foundation to support the ministry of the church.

God calls the First Presbyterian Church of Philipstown to be
disciples of Christ to the community and world, showing compassion and sensitivity by
(1) providing outreach programs that meet the changing needs of the community; and
(2) better utilizing the resources of the Presbytery, Synod, General Assembly.

In seeking to fulfill its mission, the congregation of the First Presbyterian Church of Philipstown will
"…honor our past,…look joyfully to our future; and…embrace what ought to be, instead of clinging to what is." *

* Quote is from the Preface of The History of the First Presbyterian Church of Philipstown:
The First One Hundred and Fifty Years 1828-1978,
 
by William F. Wirz, 1978
