Welcome to the online presence of Hunter Presbyterian Church.  I hope you’ll find our website helpful.  Of course, as much as it allows us to reach out beyond our walls, it cannot substitute for visiting Hunter in person.  So I invite you to join us for worship, and I look forward to meeting you.

At Hunter, we strive to offer a warm, visitor-friendly experience.  Our building is wheelchair-accessible; our community is open to all, including our communion table; and we nurture an atmosphere in which every person feels invited to use his or her gifts and abilities to make a positive difference in the world.

We are blessed with diversity.  Our members come from many walks of life and represent all ages.  Children and youth participate in the life of the church and have a variety of opportunities to grow together in friendship and faith.  Young adults to seniors come together regularly for study and reflection, conversation and support, fellowship and fun.

We are a liturgical congregation, which means that we recognize the power and beauty of time-honored patterns of worship, and these inform our acts of prayer, proclamation, remembering, and offering.  At the same time, we infuse our worship with music and language that speaks to today’s world. 

We have two Sunday morning services—a casual service with weekly communion at 8:45, followed by a traditional service at 11:00.  Between worship times we offer Sunday school for all ages at 9:30, followed by coffee hour at 10:30.  We also hold a supper every Wednesday evening at 6:00, followed by a program for adults that varies in content week to week.  Childcare is provided.

Hunter Presbyterian Church is a member congregation of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.).  We are enriched and inspired by our Presbyterian heritage and theological roots.  But most of all, we understand ourselves as Christians:  redeemed by the grace of God that we have come to know in Jesus Christ and renewed by our ongoing commitment to discipleship and learning.

Thanks for your interest in our community.  If you have any questions, please call us at 277-5126 or send e-mail to info@hunterpresbyterian.org.  We look forward to hearing from you.

Together we serve,

Jason Santalucia, pastor

The global humanitarian community, including Church World Service and PCUSA, has begun responding to the 7.0-magnitude earthquake that hit the Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince on Tuesday (Jan. 12).
Much of the capital was reduced to rubble and thousands are believed to have perished.  The Haitian president, René Préval, described the death toll as unimaginable.

This month, the Spiritual Life Committee and I ask you to consider joining our new Pastoral Care Team. The mission of this team is to carry on a ministry of compassion by extending the fellowship and care of this congregation to our homebound members through periodic visits, phone calls, and/or cards.
As your pastor, I’ll provide team members with training and support to help you develop your visitation skills. We’ll meet every month or so to discuss issues that come up in the course of your visits and to review the pastoral needs of the congregation. It’s my hope that you’ll find our time together both rewarding and empowering.
Over the next few weeks, I invite you to prayerfully consider whether you feel called to this particular ministry. Ask yourself: Do I enjoy being around people? Is my life of faith enriched by connecting with others? Do I consider myself a good listener? Do I find myself already caring for fellow church members? If so, this may be a wonderful opportunity for you.
All are welcome to join the Pastoral Care Team. Listen for announcements during worship over the next few weeks. If you’d like to know more, or if you know that you’re interested, please email or call me at the church office. I hope to hear from you, and I look forward to working together to build this important ministry.
