About
Presbytery of Ohio Valley

Mission

God’s purpose for us is to be a
transforming community of churches
sharing the Light of Christ
with the world

Vision

In our common life we:

• demonstrate what God intends for all humanity by living together in unity, forgiveness, and reconciliation;
• show the new reality revealed in Jesus Christ sharing together in God’s mission of proclamation and service;
• acknowledge differences while living out “good hope for all.”¹

Goals

Our priorities as we live into our mission and vision are to:

• identify, encourage, develop, and empower gifts for leadership and ministry at all levels of the Church;
• call, ordain, and commission people to use their spiritual gifts for particular missions and ministries;
• form provisional structures that enable people to use their gifts and are respectful of the resources God has given the Presbytery;
• develop and use church clusters to build relationships for worship, study, fellowship, support, witness, service, and social justice.
