Deacons

It is the mission of deacons, first of all, to minister to those who are in need, to the sick, to the friendless, and to any who may be in distress both within and beyond the community of faith.”

Some examples of services that have been provided by the Deacons include:

  • Providing transportation to medical appointments
  • Providing transportation to church
  • Providing meals for members who are recovering from an illness or medical procedure
  • Providing home maintenance (painting, minor repairs)
  • Helping with resumes and job searches
  • Providing child care in emergency situations
  • Visiting the home bound

Membership

Those inquiring into membership attend at least two Inquirers Classes to get to know more about Sixth and the Presbyterian Church U.S.A. New adult members are received regularly through profession of faith, reaffirmation of faith, or transfer of certificate from a different church.

LGBTQIA+ Inclusion

Sixth Presbyterian Church advocates for equal rights and equal rites for all God’s children. Since 1997, Sixth has actively supported the full inclusion of LGBTQIA+ people into the whole life and ministry of the church, which means it unites us in marriage, platforms us into positions of congregational leadership, affirms us from the pulpit, amplifies our voices in Christian worship, and marches alongside us in the streets. Sixth doesn’t just tolerate or welcome us, it IS us.
