Our
Faith
"In life and death we belong to God.
Through the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,
The love of God,
And the communion of the Holy Spirit,
we trust in the one triune God, the Holy One of Israel,
whom alone we worship and serve."
Our
Calling
We
are equipping the Church for the life of faith.
Our
Commitment
Relying
on the grace found in Jesus Christ,
we glorify and
enjoy God in all things.
Holding closely to the truth of God’s Word,
we ask with courage difficult questions of our faith and life.
Loved by God,
we show compassion respecting each other
as brothers and sisters in Christ.
Guided by Christ’s commands,
we strive to love God, to love our neighbor, and to make disciples.

Our
History
Presbyterian witness began in Wilbarger County, Texas around 1885.
The current congregation was formed by the coming together of
three different Presbyterian denominations (Cumberland Presbyterian,
Presbyterian U.S. and Presbyterian U.S.A.). Our current
building
was completed in 1968.
To find out more about our history, please read "Three
into One" 
by Mrs. Paul Singleton, prepared for the congregation's centennial in
1988.
In addition, check out our Centennial Slideshow.
You might also find the devotional
created for the "Conference on the Past" in 2006 helpful.
