About Our Church
 BALMORAL PC'S MISSION
We respond to our call to share bread with the hungry, befriend the marginalized, and engage our minds, talents and treasures toward building a community reflective of God’s Kingdom.

 A VISION of BALMORAL PC
Balmoral PC people are spirit-driven. Its wind fills our sails and we go where God leads us, with servant leadership as a guiding principle. We encourage mutual love and support, and we welcome without hesitation — all orientations, races, denominations, points of view. Our members share their talents with each other and in the wider community. We focus on community and cross-border outreach. Our mission is to develop our spiritual growth so that we may better serve others, reflecting the presence of Christ in our lives. We listen to the spirit, the community, and each other. We live out this vision with our support of hunger and homeless programs; our commitment to racial reconciliation; sharing much of our building with community organizations; hosting a learning center for children with exceptional needs; employing music and art as forms of worship; and empowering and encouraging our members in their own volunteer interests.

Small Groups

Ministry Teams

Teams are not islands unto themselves, but instead form the building blocks of the church's ministry. The work to which we are called is a ministry --- one undergirded by God's strength, sustained by God's Spirit, and motivated by God's love.

Church Membership

In Jesus Christ, God calls people to faith and to membership in the Church, the body of Christ. Balmoral Presbyterian Church believes that all individuals who trust in God's grace in Jesus Christ and desire to become a part of the fellowship and ministry of our congregation, shall be welcomed into membership as sojourners on the journey of faith.

We offer a variety of topic-driven and Bible-driven adult study opportunities throughout the year. Our normal pattern is to have a topic-driven study during the fall months, a short Advent study, a Bible-driven study in the early part of the year, and a topic-driven study in the spring. The adult studies meet each Sunday at 9:30 AM in Classroom A. The current study is: A book study of "Hallelujah Anyway" by Anne Lamont. Study leadership is Mary Schmitz and Beverly Hooker.
