Berry Boulevard Presbyterian Church was organized in 1905. We serve a neighborhood that is just southwest of Churchill Downs. We are a congregation of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America (PCUSA)

Our Mission:
The Church of Jesus Christ faces the challenge of ministry in our changing neighborhood by reaching out beyond the walls of Berry Boulevard Presbyterian Church. We shall do this by building new partnerships with our neighbors.

We believe that all God's children are called to be instruments to glorify God. We shall therefore strive to fulfill this mission through ministries that:

1. are rooted in the Bible and responsive to God's call to peace and justice;

2. connect the Gospel to everyday life in relevant and transforming ways;

3. welcome and embrace all people;

4.  empower people to grow as followers of Christ and doers of God's will in Jesus; to encourage the use of their gifts in ministry and mission for God's glory; and

5. renew our spiritual energy through creative worship and meaningful community ministries.

Objectives:
The community ministry model is based on a process of church-based community organizing which emphasizes

1. leadership development;

2. collective action;

3. theological reflection which connects scripture to community issues and concerns;

4. grassroots neighborhood organizing; and

5. public advocacy and action.

Goals:

1. For ministry teams to develop lay leadership and foster collective action through partnerships with people and churches in the neighborhood

2. To help create and nurture a new church-based neighborhood community center

3. To use the Wednesday evening Gathering experience as a principal means to build, renew, and enliven the spiritual energy of its participants, connecting spiritual life to mission and ministry in our community

Our vision:
To be a spirit-filled community of faith that is a witness to Christ's promise of resurrection and new life, planting seeds of hope in our neighborhood and sharing God's love with all people
