“Empowered and guided by the Holy Spirit through scripture, our confessions, and conscience the Presbytery of Lake Erie journeys with congregations and pastors as we live, grow, fellowship and witness to the work of God through Jesus Christ in today’s changing world. Recognizing that we are called to serve all of God’s children, we do this through shared prayer, worship, training, evangelism, and mission to strengthen the dynamic Body of Christ.”
We are 56 PC(USA) congregations in NW Pennsylvania spread over 9 counties. More than half are smaller congregations who are unable to support a full-time pastor. We are committed to facilitating effective ministry in all our ministry settings, though we also recognize that several congregations have tipped over the edge of vitality in recent years and will need to end their ministry. Quality pastoral leadership is an ongoing priority.
