1807.
Before Mississippi attained statehood on December 10, 1810, a Presbyterian congregation was formed in Natchez, MS along the Mississippi River. Today, the Pine Ridge church is one of oldest among the thirty-nine that make up Grace Presbytery. Cumulatively, these churches account for over 4,000 years of history.
We believe...
In Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins. Our standard is Scripture and, as part of the Presbyterian Church in America, our common confession is directed by the Westminster Confession of Faith and the Larger and Shorter Catechisms.
