About Us

We are a downtown congregation called to glorify and enjoy God as we worship through Word and Sacrament, make disciples, nurture faith, serve neighbors, and strive for justice.

We are Presbyterian:

• Rooted in the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.),
• Governed by elders whom we elect to seek the will of Christ,
• Guided by tradition yet open to reform.

We are downtown:

• Ministers in the heart of Florida’s capital city,
• Neighbors of the poor and homeless,
• Partners with other people of faith.

We glorify and enjoy God:

• Who loves the world,
• Who saves by grace,
• Who is revealed as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

We worship through the Word and Sacraments:

• Gathering around Scripture, Font, and Table,
• Making music that honors God,
• Sharing with joy the work of God’s people.

We make disciples:

• Calling people to repentance and new life in Christ,
• Demonstrating God’s love through concrete acts,
• Engaging the mind as well as the heart.

We nurture faith:

• Studying the Scriptures,
• Teaching and learning the Christian tradition,
• Guiding young and old to know and follow Christ.

We serve neighbors:

• Caring for one another,
• Reaching out to all,
• Working to improve our community.

We strive for justice:

• Holding government accountable before God,
• Ordering our lives to show God’s love for the least among us,
• Exercising a proper stewardship of God’s creation.
