Mission and Services

Children, youth and adults are involved to make our missions a success.

             

 

Adults and Seniors:

 

There are many ways our adult and senior members share their experiences about God and his love and they share that love with others through mission and services to the community and other areas. Our senior church members are the foundation and backbone of Steele Creek Presbyterian Church. They provide the experience of love and life's knowledge to our younger generations. Their involvement include:

 

Youth and Teenagers:

 

As well as the adult and seniors the Steele Creek Presbyterian Church youth are involved in all of the above activities. They provide the energy with fresh and new ideas for the church involvement with the community. Youth are not just the church's future they are the church today.

 

Children:

 

Children are an important part of Steele Creek Presbyterian Church from infancy to Pre-Teen, we help children grow as God's children.
