Mission Statement

Mission Presbytery serves God as a unique expression of the body of Christ in South Texas. As faithful stewards of God's gifts, we proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ by fulfilling the mandates of the Book of Order, encouraging and supporting congregations in mission and ministry and doing together what we cannot do alone.

Introduction

Just exactly what is a presbytery?" It's a question often asked by members of congregations. There is really no simple answer to that question, for a presbytery is many things:

  • It's a regional grouping of churches. In the case of Mission Presbytery, there are 157 churches in an area that stretches from the Valley to Del Rio, through the Hill country as far as Copperas Cove and southeast to Collegeport.
  • It's a governing body with responsibilities for oversight of its ministers and churches.
  • It's a community of Presbyterian churches engaged in ministry and mission for our Lord.

With 157 churches and close to 300 ministers, not many of us can claim to know everyone in the presbytery. The hope of this web page to enable us to have more of a sense of being the Church together.
