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

Marc Kline, from Temple Adath Israel, and Mark Johnson, from Central Baptist Church, have decided to sponsor an Interfaith Youth Basketball Tournament for fun and fund-raising. They would like to bring youth together from different faiths and raise money for Haitian earthquake relief.
Once they have all the youth signed-up, they will randomly and fairly choose teams by skill and gender with each individual rating him/herself as an experienced, medium, or beginning player. Each team could not play more than three boys at one time, and the purpose would be for FUN first and basketball second (as well as a worthwhile
way to raise some money).
The proposed date for the event is Sunday, April 18 from 3—8 pm with an organizational meeting Tuesday, March 9 at 5:30. The tournament will be at Central Baptist Church and the meeting location is to be determined.  Of course, volunteers will be needed to help be present and run the event itself, but it should be a great activity for youth in having fun, raising money, and building interfaith relationships.
Contact Mark Johnson (mark@lexcentral.com) if you can represent Hunter at the organizational meeting or to sign-up for the tournament!
