God is moving and breathing in Erskine Presbyterian Church. For a century and a half, God has been moulding and remoulding us to be a faithful and living witness to Jesus Christ in this community. Our deepest desire as a congregation is to follow wherever Jesus leads us, and to remain mouldable, like clay, within the hands of the potter.
Once again, we have been allowing God to reshape us. Through the Replanting Ministry of the Presbytery, we have spent months together as a whole congregation listening and discerning our calling and identity. Through this process, we have learned that we are a Church Family who love the Lord and love our neighbours deeply. Our heart’s desire is to see each and every person around us being loved and cared for, and ultimately in relationship with Jesus Christ. That’s why our vision is for Erskine to be:
“A healthy, loving family for each and every neighbour”
This vision statement reflects our desire to see each person in a community where they are loved, respected, cared for, and needed. It also reflects our desire to be that kind of a community to anyone who is seeking purpose and meaning and ultimately a relationship with Jesus. We believe that the ultimate family is the Family of God.
