Receive Love. Give Love. Repeat.

All are welcome no matter where you are on your journey of faith.

Burke Presbyterian Church welcomes everyone – inclusive of age, race, ability, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity and stage of belief. This is not a watered down, one size fits all welcome. It is a commitment to the imagination, dignity, hospitality, healing, courage and community modeled by Jesus.

Ministries

Our church is alive with ministries for all ages. Check out our programs for children, youth, and adults for ways we worship, learn about our faith, make music together, and serve our neighbors. We hope you find Burke Presbyterian Church a place that feels like home.

The first hour of a Rainbow evening is filled with a rotation of activities — choir, Bible time, recreation, and creative arts — that help us worship God and learn…

Chancel Choir

Adults of all ages, abilities, and voice parts are invited to sing. No prior experience necessary, only a love of music and desire to learn. Rehearsals are held on Wednesday evenings. The Chancel Choir sings weekly in worship and presents a cantata during Advent.
