Webster’s dictionary defines community as a “unified body of individuals”. As the new Pastor here at the Community Presbyterian Church of Littlerock, I’ve found this definition of community to be true in many ways.

We’re a “come as you are” kind of church. On a typical Sunday morning you will notice that you’ll feel right at home. The people are friendly and come from different walks of life. We’re a community for a community. We care about people and we care about imitating God’s love in all that we do and say as followers of Christ. No matter what kind of week you’ve had, you’ll know that the church, of all places, will be a safe place for you to find refuge from the chaos of the week.

We’re a church that preaches Christ and his love. When you come to our church you’ll hear like the other churches here in Littlerock, the love of God preached in a way that assures you that you are loved, and that Christ loves you in spite of what you’re going through. You’ll hear GOOD NEWS!

We’re a church that cares about the community. Most of all we’re a church that cares about our community and about making a difference for the kingdom. In Matthew 28, Jesus told his disciples to go out into the entire world. I believe this also means right next door. We care about the mission of God which calls us to love and care for those who are in need, both spiritually and physically.

One of our ministries here at Community Presbyterian is that we have a food pantry. We care about feeding the hungry. If you know someone who would benefit from our pantry please invite them to contact the church office for more information at 944-3231. We also have a wonderful outreach to the youth of Littlerock. Knowing that there are things that distract the youth of “today”, we care about offering a place for the youth of today to come as they are. The youth group here meets on Saturday nights at 7:00 PM. Please contact our church office for more information.

Finally, knowing that our fellow churches here in Littlerock and the surrounding areas would agree that we all have one purpose in mind, and that purpose is to lift up Christ here in the Antelope Valley. If you are looking for a church home you’ll find several from which to choose here in Littlerock. Here at Community Presbyterian Church we have Christian Education at 8:45 AM on Sunday mornings for folks of all ages and Sunday morning worship at 10:00 AM. This year on Easter Sunday morning, April 8, we will be joining some of the other churches in the area as “one church” by gathering at the Juniper Bowl for a 6:00 AM Sunrise service. Here at Community Presbyterian we will have two worship services Easter Sunday morning, one at 8:00 AM and one at 10:00 AM. I invite you to come as you are and join us as we seek to follow Christ and to preach the love and grace of God to all that we meet and greet.
