Volunteer in Presbyterian Church of Traverse City

To share God’s love through meaningful worship, study, caring relationships, service, and outreach.

We have many ministries, programs and opportunities for fellowship and Christian nurturing available throughout the week, and offer two worship services on Sunday mornings – a traditional Presbyterian service (in person and Live Stream) and a casual, interactive, cafe-style neXus service.

Our Vision: To Love as Christ Loves – to be a welcoming, caring, dynamic family of faith making a difference in our lives, our communities, and the world.

Our Guiding Principles:

• Share God’s love: Loving as Christ loves. Making God’s love visible and tangible to one another and to those we meet.
• Meaningful worship: Authentic. Inspiring us to live our vision and mission. Scripture-based, relevant, and speaking to all ages, wherever we are on our faith journey.
• Study: Education, Bible studies for transformation as well as information, retreats for all ages.
• Caring relationships: Supporting one another. Sharing each other’s burdens and joys. Noticing when we haven’t seen someone in a while and reaching out. Listening to one another. We come to know God
  through relationships with others.
• Service/Outreach: We are committed to mission, serving others. Being the hands and feet of Christ. Making a difference in our community and beyond. Identifying needs and working with other churches and other
  community organizations to creatively meet them.
• Welcoming: You can feel the love when you walk in the door. Truly open, inclusive, nonjudgmental, a place where all feel valued; an emotionally and spiritually safe place; A place that supports one another no matter what. It doesn’t matter where you are on your journey. We welcome you with open arms.
• Generous: Generosity flows from the understanding that all we have, are, and ever will become is not ours to possess, and it results in sharing what we’ve been given with others for the advancement of the kingdom and to the glory of God.
• Dynamic: Full of energy and joy! Always growing, not complacent/stuck in a comfort zone, yet staying true to who we are — to our foundation.
• Family of faith: Supporting one another in our lives and in our spiritual growth. Enjoying fellowship with others who are striving to be closer to God. We don’t have it all figured out, but we’re working on it together.
• Making a difference: Helping others know God’s love.
