Mission Statement

Claremont Presbyterian Church is called by God to CARE.

“…YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND AND…. YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.” MATTHEW 22:37-39″

The central tenets of this mission statement are:

1. Create inspirational and relevant worship services and programs centered in Jesus Christ so a diversity of people can be active in our Christian fellowship.

2. Act with love and hospitality toward those who visit; show compassion and forgiveness toward one another; and reach out to those on the margins of the community in which we live.

3. Revitalize our mission giving by offering our time and talents in volunteer work with local and international mission projects, while continuing to support the mission of the Presbyterian Church (USA) with our treasure.

4. Educate our children, youth, adults, and those outside our congregation to become faithful followers of Jesus Christ.
