About Us
Who We Are, What We Value, What We Do
Franklin Presbyterian Church is a Christian faith family whose beliefs, values, and actions are guided by the gospel of Jesus Christ. That gospel calls us to love God, love our neighbors, embrace mercy and forgiveness, work as peacemakers, and care for God’s creation.
We respond to the call of the gospel by working through faith to transform the world, our community, and individual lives (including our own) by Seeking God and Serving ALL People.
- We welcome all people (including skeptics) and treat everyone with love, respect, kindness and tolerance.
- We are a Matthew 25 church. (What does that mean? – See below.*) We are actively engaged in our local community as we impact the world around us, as our faith comes alive and we wake up to new possibilities for serving God, neighbors, and creation, including working for social and racial justice.
- We are dedicated to making our local area a great place for all residents to live. We listen deeply to the diverse voices in our community, partnering with churches and other local organizations to serve the community—particularly people in need—and by using our talents and facilities as assets for improving the world, our community, and individual lives.
* In Matthew 25, Jesus says that what we do for the least of these, we do as to Christ himself. As a Matthew 25 church, our goal is to live up to that command of Jesus as a congregation, creatively engaging our community in bold and meaningful ways. We utilize resources from the Presbyterian Church (USA) Matthew 25 invitation as part of our continuing education, service, and commitment.
