Glorify God, Make Disciples and Meet Human Need A Defining Vision:

The Vision of the Presbyterian Church of Clayton: We are a growing community of believers called to cultivate a vineyard of personal spiritual growth, faithfulness, obedience, witness and service. We acknowledge that Christ is the vine and we each are individual branches. Through worship and Christian education we encourage a deeply rooted, personal relationship with Jesus Christ. As diverse individuals growing in faith, we have become a community of believers committed to serving as God leads us. As we bear fruit together, we will work as disciples spreading God’s message of hope to our community and the world by sharing God’s harvest in love. We welcome all who seek a spiritual home and an opportunity to share in serving God. OR
