Third Presbyterian Church is active in all three criteria for what it means to be a Matthew 25 church. God first, community second and we are third church. Part of our vision is to seek and glorify God though the implementation of ministries that provide physical, spiritual and educational resources needed for the strengthening of our congregation and surrounding community.
