What to Expect

You'll feel at home here

Hymn-singing worship

Our service follows a traditional Presbyterian liturgy, with hymns, Scripture, prayer, and a sermon preached live each Sunday.

Children welcome in worship

Kids are welcome to stay in the service — worship bags are available, and a nursery is available if you'd like it.

Come as you are

No formal attire required. During worship we share a “Passing of the Peace,” and Joys & Concerns shared with the pastor beforehand are lifted up in our morning prayers.

Bulletins for everyone

Large-print and standard bulletins are both available at the door.

Communion open to all

“Christ welcomed sinner and saint at His Table, and we do the same.” All are invited to Christ's Table.

Accessible to all

Reserved accessible parking on the east side, ramps into the CE wing, an elevator to the Sanctuary and Fellowship Hall, and accessible restrooms.

Preaching & Worship Style

Sermons, in person, every Sunday

Our sermons are preached live, in person, at 11:00 AM each Sunday — part of a traditional, liturgical Presbyterian service centered on Scripture, prayer, and hymn-singing. We don't currently record or post sermon audio or video online, and we don't offer a livestream, so the best way to hear a sermon is to join us in the sanctuary. We'd love to see you there.

Special Services

Throughout the church year

Holy Week & Christmas

Ash Wednesday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Easter Sunday, and Christmas Eve services mark the high points of our church year.

Worship beyond our walls

Outdoor worship each September with Hoxie Presbyterian Church at Lake Atwood, Rawlins County — and Father's Day worship at the historic Lone Star Church at the Prairie Museum of Art and History, right here in Colby.

Know a student or a new neighbor looking for a church home?

If you know a Colby Community College student, a new resident of Colby, or anyone looking for a place to belong, we'd love to meet them — refer them to us and we'll take it from there.
