I joined Powell Presbyterian church after being a lifelong member of another denomination. This church is a very open, non-judgmental group which is actively engaged in being a part of the Powell community and beyond though it's blessing box,involvement in Family Promise and more. It truly embodies the teachings of Christ.

The sign says "all are welcome." Anyone who has been there can tell you that is true. God loves you and welcomes you to experience this for yourself.
