Roswell Presbyterian Church’s mission statement (shown above) serves as an important reminder of the church we believe God is calling us to be.
It begins with an emphasis on the tremendous blessing of the call of God through the grace and love of Jesus Christ. We are a congregation which affirms Jesus Christ as the center of our church. Our response in thanksgiving for that grace and love is enumerated through the three loves.
We demonstrate our Love for God in many ways. We gather together regularly to worship and affirm our belief in the sovereignty of God. We pray as a whole church and individually through programs like our regular prayer guides, devotionals and intercessory prayer group. We grow as disciples of Jesus Christ through a wide spectrum of Bible studies, offered on Sunday and throughout the week.
We work to grow our Love for ourselves in a healthy way through fellowship and our care for one another. We minister to our congregation through pastoral care, health and wellness programs, at-home communion, Stephen Ministry, and much more. We encourage fellowship through retreats, Presbyterian Women circles, Men of RPC, Wednesday Evening Fellowship, and a multitude of small groups throughout the church.
We seek to show our Love for others through diverse mission outreach opportunities, both locally and globally, ranging from visits to church members in the hospital to mission trips to Guatemala, Brazil, and Kenya. We support parentless children, send medicine to villages in the Congo, and provide housing for homeless people here in North Atlanta.
We will never forget the roots that have made us strong, but we keep our eyes are on the future, looking ahead to what God has placed before us. We continue to be a family . . . rooted in faith . . . growing in love!

Learning more about Worship, Pray, Give, Study, Serve, Connections . . .
The people of Roswell Presbyterian Church live out our faith and mission statement in a variety of ways. We believe that important aspects of our discipleship occur as we Worship, Pray, Give, Study, Serve, and Connect. As we take these steps seriously, we grow in our relationships here in the church and, more importantly, we grow in our relationship with Christ.

Worship
Worship is our opportunity each week to offer praise and thanks to God. It is the time when we are reminded who God is and who we are as his children. We believe worship is the vital heartbeat of our relationship with Christ. Within the Worship area of our website you will find details about our worship services and times, sermons (available in video, audio, podcast and PDF), music ministries for all ages, other worship ministries like the Worship Arts Ministry, and much more.

 |
Pray
Our relationship with Christ is kept vibrant and alive through prayer. We know also that the life of our congregation is under girded by the prayers of our people. Prayer is the time for us to honestly and openly share with God our hopes and fears, our joys and concerns. Within the Pray area of our website you will find information on our prayer ministries and groups, a tool to help guide daily prayers, support and care ministries, an online prayer request form, etc.

 |
Give
Roswell Presbyterian Church is not supported by a large endowment or by other financial grants. The ministry and outreach of the church is supported by the regular offerings we each give as our way of saying thanks to God for his abundant blessings in our lives. Making a pledge and presenting our gifts is our joyful response to God’s amazing gift to each of us! Within the Give area of our website you will find tools to understand the scope of Generosity and specifically Financial Generosity, upcoming classes, celebrations and resources for this area, online giving options, and much more.

 |
Study
We grow in our faith as we open God’s Word and spend time listening and learning. None of us ever “arrives” at a full understanding of the faith. We are each growing and maturing. Spending time in a study group, whether on Sunday morning or during the week, is the best way we have discovered for that growth to take place. Within the Study area of our website you will find our multi-faceted and active children, weekday preschool, and youth ministries along with adult studies with opportunities across demographics, schedules and time commitments.
|
 |
Serve
Each of us has been given a gift to share for the work of God’s world. Some sing in the choir; others each in classrooms; some offer gifts of organization, and others serve on international mission teams. There are literally hundreds of ways the people of our congregation offer their talents! Within the Serve area of our website you will find a variety of ways we live out our service to God through support and care for one another, through mission outreach efforts in our local community and the national and global level, and volunteer opportunities.
|
 |
Connections
We cultivate connections with one another and our relationship with Christ as we Worship, Pray, Give, Study and Serve. There are specific ministries in the church designed to help us create friendships and connect with other people in our congregation. Within the Connections area of our website you will find ways to get connected through fellowship and groups, through volunteering and you will find details on upcoming events and ways to register/make reservations for things from Wednesday Evening Fellowship to mission trips, from concerts to Biblical Education Tours.
