What are the greatest challenges confronting our church in the coming years?
Reaching the lost for Christ.
• How do we remain relevant in this technological, band playing, contemporary desire for worship?
• The demographics of our city and county are changing, many neighborhoods are elderly and it seems fewer young couples are moving into Thomson, how does the church grow and have a future?
• The elderly are raising their grandchildren; therefore, we have been seeking out these children by canvasing the neighborhoods inviting them to VBS.
• The words “reformed” and “evangelical” aren’t terms well understood and visitors need to be educated as to their  meanings.

• There are questions and frustrations with the Presbyterian form government. 

Visitors and new members come with various Christian backgrounds.
Education in what Presbyterians believe and understanding the church government requires instruction.

We are a small town with potential growth from the Cyber Command at Fort Eisenhower Military Base.

Total population of Thomson 25,000. ( City approximately 8,000)
