We are delighted that you have found your way to the First Presbyterian Church, Chili, NY- also known as Chili Pres. Inspired by the teaching that Jesus is the true vine and we are the branches, our mission is to be firmly rooted in faith, to grow together, and to care for our neighbors.
We are an intergenerational Presbyterian (USA) Church committed to fostering radical hospitality. We honor the diverse viewpoints each individual contributes and intentionally create an environment which is welcoming and inclusive for all people. Our mission is to embark on the journey of discipleship together. We are committed to learning alongside one another, continually discovering how to more faithfully embody the teachings of Jesus in every aspect of our lives. Recognizing that the world around us is always changing, we seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit with both courage and openness. This shared pursuit strengthens our community as we encourage one another to grow, adapt, and respond to the needs of our time while remaining rooted in faith.
Our Food Cupboard, labyrinth trail, cooking classes, and community outreach events are designed to foster meaningful engagement with the greater Chili community.
Chili Pres also is committed to bringing up the next generation to know and love the Word of God. Our ministry programs focus on equipping every person, regardless of age, to have a developing and contagious relationship with Jesus.
We are not a group of people who have it all figured out. Instead, we are on a journey together, growing and discovering who God wants us to be, and we invite you to be part of that journey with us.
