JOHN CALVIN PRESBYTERY
OPPORTUNITIES TO SERVE

As Presbyterians, we serve God in the world. We are part of a connectional church -- the higher governing bodies help local churches carry out their ministry and mission and local churches and their members help the larger governing bodies carry out their ministry and mission. John Calvin Presbytery has many such ministry and mission needs and seeks your leadership and service. Jesus said, "Go ye into all the world...". By serving in this way, you can make your church more representative, inclusive, and effective.
