Midtown Presbyterian Church’s Values

According to the church’s website, it welcomes spiritual seekers and believers. 

On the same website, the church said no matter where a person is in their spiritual development, they want to provide a place they can call home. They would like to greet everyone.

They put a high value on coming together for play, learning, service, and rest because they understand that a complete and free human existence is best lived in a community, according to the church.

The church said it emphasizes being more like Jesus in everything they do because they think living a Christian life transforms everything about the people.

According to the church, it exists solely to further the work of God in the world, which is to restore and redeem everything.

The church said Midtown envisioned themselves as transformed individuals who, through starting new churches, contribute to the transformation of the area around everyone. 

It added that they intend to plant two more churches within the following five years.

Church’s Sunday

The church said it is a typical bunch of people, including adults, children, couples, families, and singles. 

In the same post, the church expressed that it wants to know the members' stories. Each of the people has their own unique tale, it said.

According to the church, it wants the people to know they are welcome here, regardless of how long they have attended churches, whether they have caused harm in the past, or whether they have never entered one. 

Midtown Presbyterian Church also encouraged the people to observe and that they were welcome to be a part of this community. 

The church said the meeting starts at Hope Women's Center at 9:30 a.m. at 1640 E. McDowell Rd., Phoenix, AZ, 85006. 

The church connects staff will greet everyone when they arrive and be available to answer any questions about the church, the neighborhood, and how to get involved, according to the church. 

When they arrive, they will frequently find coffee, doughnuts, and other refreshments waiting for everyone, the Midtown Presbyterian Church said.

On communal singing, the church said they hold that since humans are creators, singing and performing music together is one of the best methods for them to communicate their spiritual experiences. 

The church said they offer a mix of well-known contemporary tunes, traditional hymns, and even original compositions by local artists.
