Our Mission and Vision

First Presbyterian Church of Olney, Illinois are called by Christ to love God, love one another, and love our community. Wherever we are, we live our live by God’s teachings and demonstrate our faith through our actions and by serving others! We continue to create a culture of worship, fostering the spiritual growth in the process of Christian living, and serving God as well as our neighbors.

We are a congregation of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), a nationwide communion of Christian congregations in the Reformed tradition, the Presbytery of Southeastern Illinois (a group of Presbyterian congregations in our area of the United States), and the Synod of Lincoln Trails (a group of presbyteries in Indiana and Illinois). Being Presbyterian means being connected with others in worship and service, and these groups enable us to to share resources and encouragement as we seek to glorify God and serve others.
