Cherokee Presbyterian Church

You're Invited

We celebrate the Sacrament of Holy Communion during the 10:00 worship service on the last Sunday of each month. All are welcome to join us.

Please join us for covered dish lunch the last Sunday of each month, following the 10:00 am. service. Enjoy good food while visiting with fellow members.

From Our Vision Statement

The ministry, and work, of this new church will be performed by the encouragement of the Holy Spirit, the congregation and the pastor. All members will be encouraged to participate with service, prayers, and financial contributions. The ministry of this new church will touch all age groups with a focus on family ministry. A quality Christian Education program will be developed. Adults will grow their faith through Sunday School programs, Bible Study groups, and mission projects.

While the new church will enjoy the love and labor of many volunteers from surrounding Presbyterian congregations, it will be developed by an initial transferring membership of 25-50 families. It is projected to become a church of at least 200 members within 3 years. Temporary facilities will be utilized until the families and sponsoring churches can make long-term commitments to a permanent facility.

With God’s love and encouragement, we will become a viable, vision directed congregation, and an active contributing member of Trinity Presbytery.

Congregational Ministry of Cherokee

"The ministry of this new church will touch all age groups with a focus on family ministry. With God's love and encouragement, we will become a viable, vision-directed congregation and an active, contributing member of Trinity Presbytery." (excerpt from the Vision Statement of Cherokee) Join us to promote this ministry.

Some of the activities being planned for the new church year are:

• Fall Festival Fun
• Jesus' Birthday Celebration
• Valentine's Dinner
• Easter Celebration
• Bible School Kick-Off fun and Games
• Celebrate God's Creation (cookout/nature hike)

During the year the congregation of Cherokee Presbyterian will have the opportunity to participate in local, Presbytery, General Assembly, and Worldwide Mission projects. Plans are to collect food pantry items for LICS, provide funds and gifts for children in Emergency Foster Care, make Christmas cards and Valentines for the Presbyterian Home, support the Saxe Gotha Race for Hunger and Migrant Ministry, the Lexington Relay for life, SC Home at Montreat, Camp Fellowship, and others. Come join us as we seek to serve the Lord.
