Our Congregation

The Yellow Frame Presbyterian Church consists of people from all denominational backgrounds and who represent a wide array of occupations: teachers, financial planners, farmers, entrepreneurs and small business owners, homemakers, retirees, lawyers, doctors, veterinarians, administrative assistants, nurses and custodians to name some of the occupations.  Church is a place to connect to something greater than our individual lives, and we each find our niche within the context of this Christian community. Presbyterians believe many things, including, and perhaps most importantly, the freedom of individual conscience.  We believe that Jesus was and is God in human flesh. We believe that it is in and through Jesus that we belong to God, in life and in death.  For more on what Presbyterians believe, see the denominational web site, www.pcusa.org.
