Dear Friends,

Thank you for your interest in finding out more about the issues raised in our Oct. 22, 2007, letter to the churches in the Presbytery of Western North Carolina.  The following documents were written by several congregation members and staff.  If you would like a hard copy of these documents, please contact our church office.  The hard copy includes the same text as the websites, but without the links to supporting documents from many different outside sources to back up our statements, which are only available in the web version. 

May God bless you richly as you seek to serve our Lord,
