About Us

Deerhurst Presbyterian Offers You a Warm Welcome

Since its establishment nearly 100 years ago, Deerhurst Presbyterian Church has addressed the needs of the Ken-Ton community during periods of significant social and economic challenge. The church provides stability and hope through its unity of faith. 

Deerhurst Presbyterian Church’s mission is to welcome people into our community with acceptance and love, from wherever they come, to join us on our journeys of faith. We encourage all, inspired by the Holy Spirit, to utilize their gifts in response to the world's needs. We empower people to know “the love of God, the grace of our Lord, Jesus Christ, and the fellowship, communion, and support of the Holy Spirit”.

Deerhurst engages a world in need and meets the world through prayer, mission, outreach, Christian hospitality, and service.
