Idylwood Presbyterian Church was founded in 1914, when the area around the church was truly rural.  Small farms dotted the countryside, a doctor made house calls on horseback, and people knew their neighbors for miles around.

The community has changed dramatically since those days, of course.  Cows have given way to condominiums, making it possible for thousands of new neighbors to move into the vicinity of the church.

Dramatic change has occurred in this church also since those early days, but some things haven't changed much.  Many people say that Idylwood Presbyterian, with its friendliness and warmth, reminds them of the church they grew up in "back home."  The simple charm and dignity of the original church building enhance that impression.

Yet it is important for this church to "keep up" and be able to respond to the needs of people in the present and in the future. We reach out to others, individually and together, to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ in words and in acts of compassion, justice, and mercy.

The congregation is the real heart of any church.  We invite you to come and get to know us.  You may find here a church home where together we can share mutual joys and problems, and help each other cope with the stresses and opportunities of today's changing world.
