Image At present we have two  Worship Services: Our Early Service begins at 8:30a.m. and our Late Service which  begins at 10:30 a.m..Our Sunday School starts at 9:15am -We have three adult classes-"The Wisdom Class" , The "Whole People of God Class", and the "Who Noz" class. The curriculum for the adult classes varies-we use NOOMA, David C. Cook, and Interpretations. The children's classes are grouped nursery, 2 and 3's, 4 and 5K's, 1st- 2nd grades, 3-5th grades, Middle School, and Sr High.

 Our  pastor, Rev. Mark A. Davenport, is an Arkansas native.Image He graduated from the Memphis Theological Seminary with a master's degree in divinity and was ordained June 12, 1988. He has a lovely wife, Tracy, and six children.

We have around 200 active members.We are governed locally by the Session which is made of a group of nine of our members and moderated by our minister.We also have a group of 6 members that make up the Diaconate that help with missions and  physical needs of the church and church building. Each meet  monthly to serve the church.   We are a member of the Robert Donnell Presbytery of the Cumberland Presbyterian Denomination. 

ImageDuring the School Year we have LOGOS (grades k-5 & 6-12)LOGOS concentrates on Christian education and worship skills while  PYF is mainly for fellowship. The groups usually go on hiatus during the summer month because of summer presbytery camps, CPYC, the Youth Mission Trip, among other youth activities that take place during the summer. We also have   Presbyterian Youth Fellowship(grades 6-8 & 9-12) which meet at various times.

In the fall we have a churchwide retreat which members of all ages enjoy.For our senior members we have the J.O.Y. Club which takes monthly trips and enjoys each others fellowship as they visit different places in the state.
