The Presbyterian Church in Canada

Presbyterian-Church-in-Canada-logoRelying on the power of the Holy Spirit, The PCC proclaims the love and good news of Jesus Christ through their words and actions. As a Reformed church, they rely on the truth and inspiration of Scriptures for God’s guidance into the future—a future that they approach with wonder and anticipation, knowing God is with us. As worshipping communities joyfully celebrating the sacraments, they are supported, strengthened and equipped to share the love of God revealed in Jesus Christ.

Congregation and Community Ministries of The Presbyterian Church in Canada:  Congregation and Community Ministries works with congregations and presbyteries to support and equip congregations for faithful and vibrant ministry in the world to which Christ came for which he died.
