Leadership
Christ calls officers to govern and rule in the church, after the manner of Christ for the glory of God, for order and leadership in the body of Christ. The policy of the Presbyterian Church (USA) sets forth that church officers are called and elected by the people. These officers are Ministers of Word and Sacrament, Elders, and Deacons. Meet our leadership team.
Ministry
Our mission is to reach and equip people of all ages with the uncompromising truth of Scripture, enabling us to serve others with the unwavering love of Jesus in our families, church, community, and the world. We want to challenge our congregation through our ministry opportunities to effectively serve and spread the gospel to all of the earth. Learn more about our missions.
History
The Stanford Presbyterian Church was founded in 1788 just two years after Stanford received the city charter from the Virginia Legislature. The first record of the Church is an order of the Transylvania Presbytery which was recorded during a meeting at Paint Lick in 1790. The one room log meeting house was built in 1792 and still stands on West Main Street in Stanford, KY. Read more here.
