Our Mission:

The mission of the Presbyterian Church of Wellsville is to make gospel-transformed disciples who hope in Christ alone and proclaim Him through word and deed to the communities where we live and worship.

Our Beliefs:

We believe that God exists, and that He is the Creator and King who sovereignly reigns over all things for His glory. Although God is holy and we are not, He desires to be in relationship with us. Therefore, in His love and grace God sent his Son Jesus Christ to live the sinless life we cannot live and to die as a perfect atoning sacrifice, once and for all, to pay for the misdeeds that separate us from communion and relationship with God. Through faith in Christ, we can find a peace, a purpose, and a righteousness that comes not from ourselves, but from Him.

At the Presbyterian Church of Wellsville, the Scriptures are received and submitted to as the revealed, trustworthy, and authoritative Word of God, for "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness" (2 Tim 3:16). A summary of our beliefs can be found in the well-known Apostles' Creed and Nicene Creed. We follow in the footsteps of the traditional Reformed theological understanding of God and his Word as expressed in other Reformed/Presbyterian creeds, especially the Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechisms.

Rev. Tom Kristoffersen

Senior Pastor

585-593-5069

Tom was born in Norway, moved to America as a toddler, and was raised in Connecticut. He grew up in a home that was culturally Norwegian (he is still fluent) and nominally Christian, but came to saving faith in Jesus Christ while he studied business at Bucknell University. There he also met Deb, and they were married in 1996. After working in the business world for seven years, Tom followed God’s call to prepare for pastoral ministry and eventually earned an MDiv at Biblical Theological Seminary in the Philadelphia area. The congregation of the Presbyterian Church of Wellsville called Tom as their Pastor in the summer of 2006, and he has been blessed to shepherd them and teach them God’s Word ever since. The Kristoffersens have adopted two sons and are also actively involved in foster care. Tom loves spending time with his family, and enjoys good food, reading, listening to music, playing acoustic guitar, and watching movies or Yankees games while he attempts to exercise on his elliptical machine.

The Presbyterian Church of Wellsville actually grew out of a congregation that started in 1981 in Port Allegany, PA. Several families in that church lived in the Wellsville area, and they began meeting separately for Sunday morning worship in 1984 at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Wellsville. In 1985, the Wellsville congregation was established as a mission church of the Presbyterian Church in America, and in 1986 they adopted the name The Presbyterian Church of Wellsville and moved into a newly-purchased church facility at 83 Chamberlain Street. They officially became a particular church in 1990, with a Pastor and Ruling Elders being elected and installed. In 2006, our current Pastor, Rev. Tom Kristoffersen, was elected and installed. We purchased our new facility in 2009, located at 68 N. Main Street, and spent several years renovating it to become the church home we see today. We held our first worship service in the new building in April 2012, and held a dedication service and dinner a month later. Our congregation has been blessed by our faithful Lord over these years, with new members and visitors and opportunities to worship, fellowship, and minister together. Our story is His story, and To God Be The Glory!
