Located in downtown Clayton just behind the Clayton Cafe, Clayton Presbyterian Church lives as a family of faith through Christian worship, study, fellowship, and service, for the glory of God. 

Our mission is to live as a family of active faith through Christian worship, study, fellowship, and service, for the glory of God. 

Christian worship...is at the center of all that we do! In coming together each Sunday morning, we are nourished by the Word of God and through the gathering of the body of Christ, made up of friends old and new. In worship, we encounter forgiveness and hope; we absorb the challenge and the promise of God's Word; and we leave strengthened, ready to live as Christ's disciples until we come together again.

Study...is an important part of our spiritual growth. Whether learning through engaging, Scripturally-sound sermons, setting aside time for personal Bible study and devotion, or coming together in small groups to study Scripture or learn about spiritual practices, we believe that deepening our faith through learning is worthy of our time, care, and attention.

Fellowship...gives vibrancy to our life together. We take seriously that the church is the Body of Christ. Just as Paul reminded the Corinthians, when we are together, "God's Spirit dwells in us." From sharing snacks and conversation after worship each Sunday, to getting together for dinner and other congregational and community events, we enjoy coming together as a family of faith, and welcoming others into that family.

Service...is fundamental to who we are as Christ's disciples. We seek to be the hands and feet of Jesus to each other, to our community, and to the world. This takes place through hands-on acts of service and caring, as well as by holding special events and fundraisers which allow us to offer financial support to other partner organizations who are faithfully doing God's work.

Worship Sundays at 9:00am

Coffee and snacks are available in the sanctuary entryway ('narthex') following worship. The snacks are good, and the fellowship is better! 

Service Times last updated on the 16th of December, 2022

Wear whatever is most comfortable to you. We are pretty casual, but whether you're wearing your Sunday best or dressed for a sporting event later in the day, you'll fit right in. 

Thanks to a lift project that was completed in 2015, all areas of the church building are accessible to those who may have difficulty with steps. The lift is located to the left of the building if you face the main double doors to the sanctuary. There are bathrooms on the main floor and the basement level.
