Established in 1941

The initial attempt to begin a church in Albion was made in the late 1930’s by Rev. Paul Gilmore of the Springboro church. In 1941 the Erie pastor, Rev. Mountford began holding services in a hall above the post office on Sunday afternoons.
Two years later the Presbyterian Church at Orchard and Pearl Streets was purchased with the assistance of the Pittsburgh District.

Our Goal

To go make and be disciples of Christ to all nations. To live a life of holiness which can only be done by God's grace.

We are passionate when it comes to the Word.

With an emphasis on being disciples, we know that we must grow deep in relationship with our Father through Jesus Christ. This means not leaning on our own understanding, but His Truth, The Holy Bible.

We believe in one God who has expressed himself in personal ways. We know God’s personality as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

We believe the Bible communicates God’s saving message and is our reliable authority in all matters related to faith and Christian living.

We believe that all humankind struggles with a downward pull.

We believe that unless we experience God’s help and salvation through a faith commitment to Jesus Christ, our future is one of eternal separation from God and all that is good.

We believe the love and grace of God is extended to every person in the provision Jesus Christ made in his death and resurrection. By turning from our own selfishness and trusting Jesus Christ, we experience a new life, being freed from the old patterns of self—destructive acts called sin.

We believe our new life in Jesus Christ is the gateway to transformation. Following our moment of faith in Jesus, we believe there is another moment in which we present our life completely to Christ in order to live under his authority and to experience his transforming power.

We believe that Christian experience is more than a change of mind. It is accompanied by assurance that is grounded in both the Scriptures as well as the inner witness of God’s Spirit.
We believe that all who live for Jesus Christ have an eternal future. Our belief in such a future includes both the fulfillment of God’s creative purpose as well as the accountability of all persons endowed with the power of choice.
