Welcome to John Knox Presbyterian Church
Welcome home, children of God!
Our faith celebrates the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.
John Knox is a place where anyone can experience and share the love of God, the peace of Christ, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit.

We are a faith community that values your thoughts and questions. Come as you are today and grow with us in faith and discipleship. We welcome all to the Lord’s table for Holy Communion, which is usually celebrated monthly.
We invite you to stay for fellowship after worship, where refreshments are served and friendships are made and nurtured.

Mission Spotlight
“If we are to love our neighbors, before doing anything else we must see our neighbors. With our imagination as well as our eyes, that is to say like artists, we must see not just their faces but the life behind and within their faces. Here it is love that is the frame we see them in."
Frederick Buechner in Whistling in the Dark (1988)

GIFT CARDS FOR YOUTH
Donations toward the purchase of gift cards for youth in foster care can be made any time between now and December 14. Indicate “ODHS Gift Cards” on your donation. The cards will be delivered that week. Providing these gift cards for youth in foster care is one way we can express our love and care for those in challenging situations. These gift cards allow them the freedom of choice to buy items they want and need for themselves or for their families.
As violence escalates in and around Israel/Palestine, PDA is providing humanitarian assistance through partners on the ground and through ACT Alliance.
​
PDA has approved solidarity grants and will continue supporting our partners providing humanitarian assistance. Our response efforts will encompass a wide array of vital humanitarian interventions, including but not limited to medical supplies, shelter, WASH (water, sanitation and hygiene), food and non-food items, and delivering crucial psychosocial support to individuals.

Hurricane Melissa
As we begin to see the catastrophic impacts Category 5 Hurricane Melissa made as it tore its path through Jamaica and across Cuba, we are praying for our siblings in the Caribbean. With maximum sustained winds of 185 miles per hour at landfall on Tuesday morning, authorities are calling this one of the most powerful storms ever to hit the region. Its smaller remnant continues to inflict damage among island nations in its path, and it will take years to recover.
Presbyterian Disaster Assistance (PDA) is providing grants to address urgent, immediate needs and will remain to address long-term recovery and unmet needs. The magnitude of this storm will require the development of long-term projects and assistance for both physical and emotional long-lasting effects.
PDA affirms our commitment to accompany those affected by this disaster. As people of God, once again we are called to bridge the “GAP” — Give, Act and Pray.
GIVE: Designate an offering to PDA-Melissa here
​
ACT: Stay informed through the PDA Facebook page
PRAY: for all affected and involved in recovery efforts.
