New Church Logo
From schools to rented spaces and even baseball parking lots, our church has met in a number of spaces over the years. Now, in 2025, God is giving us a permanent home on North White Street in Wake Forest! With this new location, we have updated our branding as well. This new logo represents: our history—in the Cross of Christ, always our central focus; our heritage—in our denomination, the Presbyterian Church in America; and our hope—in bold color and stately script, to show our resolve to clearly proclaim the Gospel to our community. Stay tuned with construction updates and opportunities to be involved.
