OUR MISSION
We are passionate about God’s passion for you.
We are a brand-new church with a 200 year history as a PC(USA) congregation. We celebrate God’s faithfulness and goodness and share God’s love as we worship, serve, and grow in our faith together. At Plum Creek we balance differences in opinion by respecting the God given dignity of all. We intentionally see each other as a beloved child of God locally and around the world.
