Becky Beyerlein, Interim Youth Director
Our Mission
We desire loving,
strong and meaningful fellowship, lived out through
authentic relationships, equipping and nurturing our
members to become more Christ-like. We desire to extend the
Kingdom of God into the world through loving and serving
others, engaging the culture and reaching the
unchurched.
Our Beliefs
Our faith is based on
the fundamental belief that the nature of humanity is
fallen and in need of salvation. This salvation is only
possible through God’s saving grace, expressed
through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, His
only son. The pathway for human restoration to a right
relationship with God is through acknowledgment of our need
as sinners for forgiveness, acceptance of Christ’s
atoning work and surrender to His Lordship. The Holy Spirit
dwells within each believer. We believe the Bible is
the inspired word of God, historically rooted and
authentically expressing God’s nature and will for
the church through the ages and today. We adhere to the
Reformed tradition of the PCUSA. We are part of the
Confessing Church movement and believe in the sanctity of
life and the importance of fidelity in marriage between a
man and a woman.
Our History
Parkminster
Presbyterian Church was founded in 1954 as a mission of the
United Presbyterian denomination. It grew out of the First
United Presbyterian Church, which was located at 131
Plymouth Avenue North. When the State of New York and City
of Rochester purchased the land to make way for the Inner
Loop, the congregation voted to establish a new church in
the suburbs. They purchased a four and one-quarter acre
parcel of land on Chili Avenue between Pixley Road and
Cardinal Drive for a church and a manse. The first service
in the basement of the unfinished new church took place on
Easter Sunday, April 4, 1954; led by the first pastor, Rev.
Herman W. King, DD. Over the last fifty
years, Parkminster Presbyterian Church has been a strong
voice in the Rochester evangelical church community. The
building and congregation have grown and changed over the
years, but its committment to being a church of Jesus
Christ has never wavered.
