NEW PASTOR SEARCH – Updates
|
Your Pastor Nominating Committee (PNC) continues to work diligently, meeting every Thursday evening. The PC-USA website matching system is consistently turning up one or two candidates per week. The committee carefully reads the candidate’s information and does further internet research. Thanks to modern technology, sermons are readily available for the PNC to watch/listen. Barring any obvious mismatch to Parma-South’s mission and culture, the candidate is invited to apply. If the candidate applies, the PNC gains access to the applicant’s statement of faith. Then the PNC decides to make contact, requests an interview and checks references. A few interviews are currently in process, but the Advent season is expected to make candidates less available to chat until January. Please keep praying for your PNC members – for wisdom, discernment, and patience.

Seal of the Presbyterian ChurchIn 1 Corinthians, Paul described the church as a body with many members, illustrating the pluralism of the church and the many gifts which God gives to its members.
Our seal is made up of individual parts - the cross, the book, the dove, the fish, the pulpit, the chalice and the flames - when taken together, form an encompassing visual and symbolic unity, while not exhausting the richness of possible interpretations. For more information about the PC(USA), please click here. |

Our History
|
Parma-South got its hyphenated name as a result of the merger of two Presbyterian churches: Parma Presbyterian and South Presbyterian. Parma Presbyterian Church was organized by the Presbytery in 1835, while the South Presbyterian Church began in 1892. The Cleveland Presbytery eventually recommended the merger of South Presbyterian Church with Parma Presbyterian, and in 1937 the new congregation of Parma-South Presbyterian Church was created. Our current sanctuary was dedicated in 1951.
