Core offering

Woods Memorial Presbyterian Church provides weekly Presbyterian worship services in both Traditional and Contemporary formats, along with comprehensive faith formation programs for children, youth, and adults. The church operates pastoral care ministries, supports local and global mission partnerships through its Service and Outreach Committee, and runs affiliated facilities including the Woods Child Development Center (a state-accredited preschool for ages 2-4) and the Woods Counseling and Care Center.

Product overview

Woods Memorial Presbyterian Church is a traditional religious organization offering a unified worship ministry portfolio centered on spiritual formation and community service. The church operates two primary weekly worship services—Traditional (9:30AM) and Contemporary (11AM)—which unify into a single Blended Summer Service during summer months. Complementing worship are formation programs spanning Children's Ministry (PRE-K–5th grade), Youth Ministry (6th–12th grade), and Adult Education (Bible studies, fellowship groups, and affinity groups). The church also operates community outreach through its Service and Outreach Committee supporting over 20 mission partners, and provides care ministries including Stephen Ministry, Prayer Shawl Ministry, and the W.E.L.C.O.M.E. Committee. The church extends its digital presence through online giving via Realm, YouTube livestreaming, and weekly Messenger newsletters. The church campus also houses affiliated organizations including the Woods Child Development Center and Woods Counseling and Care Center.
