Statement of Purpose
The Purpose of Beaver-Butler Presbytery
is to be a servant to the churches God has entrusted to us,
encouraging and supporting them toward
becoming healthy, growing, Missional Congregations.
(Missional Congregations are those that discern God’s mission in their setting
and are actively working to participate in that mission.)

The Mission of Beaver-Butler Presbytery is
to develop vital congregations in service to God’s Kingdom.

The vision of Beaver-Butler Presbytery is that
by 2012 50% of our churches
are experiencing measurable numerical,
spiritual and missional growth.
Core Values
We value Missional Congregations
We value Continuing Education and Training
We value Innovative Congregations
We value Accurate Membership Rolls
We value Tithing and Generous Congregations
Strategic Principles
- - The individual congregation, through its members, is the fundamental missionary unit of the Church.
- - The role of Presbytery is to serve the churches in their mission; to organize for collaborative ministries; and to carry out the mandates of our constitution.
- - The Presbytery should do no mission that individual churches can do for themselves.
- - Fruitfulness is as important as Faithfulness.
- - What we count we value.
- - Accountability is a basic requirement for change and growth.
- - Not all growing churches are healthy but all healthy churches are growing
