First Presbyterian Church of Calvert City

First Presbyterian Church of Calvert City is a Matthew 25 church.

What is a Matthew 25 CHURCH? Matthew 25:31–46 calls all of us to actively engage in the world around us, so our faith comes alive and we wake up to new possibilities. Convicted by this passage, both the 222nd and 223rd General Assemblies (2016 and 2018) exhorted the PC(USA) to act boldly and compassionately to see our neighbors through Jesus’ eyes and serve those who are marginalized or in need — people who are hungry, thirsty, naked, sick, imprisoned, strangers, poor or oppressed in other ways and in need of welcoming. This work is a direct response to the good news of Jesus and a faithful expression of what it means to be Christ’s disciples in this time and place.

We believe by accepting the Matthew 25 invitation, we can help our denomination become a more relevant presence in the world by:

 

• - Connecting and uniting the PC(USA), creating a spark that energizes and joins us in our common mission together.
•  
•  - Showing our understanding as Presbyterian Christians that we are “saved to serve” those who need God and the radical love of Jesus.
•  
•  - Celebrating and calling forth churches that actively engage the world.
•  

Our chosen focus for First Presbyterian Church of Calvert City is church revitalization. We are a small church that takes on large goals. We encourage our friends in faith to take up the challenge and join with us to become the church Jesus wants us to be.
