Welcome!  God is at work in dramatic ways in the 60 churches of the Presbytery of Lake Erie!  And we invite you to join with us in this exciting venture!  In recent years Lake Erie Presbytery has had an increasing focus on missional church thought.  A quote from more than half a century ago brings focus to our task:

“A Church is missionary-hearted only if it lives daily and hourly in the conviction that world-wide witness is that very thing for which the Church exists, and by its engagement in which it manifests the reality of its being.  A church is a missionary Church only if every single part of its life and its organization is related to this central principle.  A Church which is not a missionary Church has only slender claims to the name of Church, however orthodox its doctrine and however impeccable the apostolic succession of its ministry.”                                                                                                                          

                                                                                        -Stephen Neill, The Unfinished Task, 1957

These are exciting times to be missionary-hearted churches.  Join with us as we seek God’s preferred and promised future!

Rev. David S. Oyler,

General Presbyter
