Welcome to Greenfield Presbyterian Church
We believe that God loves everyone. Our faith is centered in Christ, and His example of loving service compels us to live our faith. We do this by creating a caring community where all are welcomed and encouraged to join in worship, outreach, and mission work both near and far.

Here is a link to the survey results.

We want to thank all of you who took the Congregational Assessment Survey (CAT) this summer. 155 Greenfielders took the survey, about 125% of our average Sunday worship (which is amazing). The results were very affirming in many ways, and have given us some very tangible ideas for the near future. There’s much good news about how we feel over all about our congregation, as well as really meaningful data suggestions about important tasks/opportunity for the next few years.
The Session has just recently elected a new team who will be utilizing the results of the CAT to put together a “Self-Study”, which will then be used by a pastoral nominating committee (PNC) beginning in early 2020.

WHIRL Worship on Wednesdays at 5:45 PM is off to a great start with families gathering for dinner, faith conversations, and child-friendly worship. Our hope is to expand this ministry to all families from the Berkley community to join us so please invite everyone!
We are excited to welcome Ashley Phillips, elementary music teacher at Angell School, who led our VBS music, to our leadership team.
Dinner teams are needed for meals through December 18. Menu suggestions are available and costs are reimbursed. Please sign up on the Christian Education bulletin board.

The Women’s One Day Retreat is Saturday, September 28, from 8:45 AM to 4:45 PM. Only a few weeks away!
This year’s theme is “Let Us Play!: Cultivating Holy Playfulness”. Play is often discounted as “unimportant,” especially for adults, but play is essential for our emotional and spiritual lives. Humans were created by God to need play almost as much as we need air and water. Play ties us to our creative and playful God and helps us to know more who God is and who we are. Come and be refreshed! Have fun with women of all ages, as we let the fun fuel our spiritual selves!
We are very pleased to have the Rev. Julie Delezenne leading us. She currently serves as the pastor of First Presbyterian Church of Warren.
We will gather at the Kilgour Scottish Centre of the St. Andrew’s Society, 2363 Rochester Court in Troy, located at the intersection of Stephenson Hwy. and Rochester Road. Use the Red Roof Inn driveway.
Members, friends, and visitors are all welcome. Please consider joining us.
The retreat will be a balance of large group interaction, mini presentations, small group conversations, a craft and lunch. It’s a wonderful opportunity to relax, connect with friends, and make new friends
Look for registration forms at the entrance and back of the church. The cost is $50 which includes food, activities, and conference expenses. Registration forms need to be in by September 16 as seating is limited. Scholarships are available. If you have any questions, please contact Paula Robinson (PRobins7@hfhs.org) or Bonnie Swetman (bswetman@wowway.com).

Children’s Ministries
Greenfield Presbyterian cares deeply about families. We want children to know and love Jesus, and we believe that there are many ways to achieve this: arts and crafts; hearing Bible stories; singing songs and playing games. Moreover, we want children to feel like they belong, not only in our building, but as important members of a community that care about them and the world in which they live, both near and far.
