At Bryn Mawr
Presbyterian Church we are a large and diverse community of believers. We come from many
walks of life and are at varied stages on our path of faith.
Together in Christ, we claim hope over despair, prefer truth to complacency. We
seek to grow in personal faith and compassion for the world. Through our
lovely buildings we
hope to both shelter and inspire. In our worship we seek to both sing with the
angels and cry with the prophets. Through our education programs we wish to both inform and
encourage. In the world around us we work to display both love and justice. We
find strength in friendship, fellowship, and faith.
