We, the people of Summit Presbyterian Church,

Pastor's Corner
 June 2009 - Every first Sunday of the month, when we celebrate communion and recite the Apostles Creed, you may puzzled by the line "I believe in . . . . the holy catholic church." Aren't we Presbyterians? And does it make sense to say we "believe" in the church? Don't we believe in God in Christ, with church being the way we live out that belief?
The answer is both yes and no. Yes, we are Presbyterians - the Presbyterian Church (USA) branch of Presbyterians, to be precise. That makes us distinct from Roman Catholics, Greek Orthodox, Mennonites, African Methodist Episcopalians, and Lutherans -- to name just a few of the churches we find in this small corner of the globe.
As the Summit Presbyterian Church, on the corner of Westview and Greene, we are also distinct from other churches of the Presbyterian Church (USA). But in the Apostles Creed, we confess there is a catholic (in the sense of universal) church called together by Christ. A church that - for all the differences in theology, worship, and ministries among particular congregations and denominations - is one body. One body of Christ, one church, stretching across time and space with one call: to proclaim the gospel in word and deed.
