We extend from Iola and Parsons, Kansas, to Rolla and West Plains, Missouri.Our site has been designed to meet the needs of the members and staff in our congregations. We now have a virtual office and are available to be in communities around the presbytery on a regular basis. If you would like to meet with us on one of those days, just give us a call and we will arrange a meeting. All new information about JCP is on the Contact Page.
However, if you are looking for a new church, upcoming events, and more information about us, this site is designed for you in mind, as well to help you locate a church that meets your needs.
We invite you to explore this site often, and return to see new and exciting things happening throughout the JCP.

Brainstorming Advent and Christmas Observances
Wednesday, September 23, at 10 a.m. via Zoom
Bring your morning beverage and a willingness to envision possibilities!
Rodger Nishioka spoke to John Calvin Presbytery about the DISRUPTION we are experiencing as a result of COVID. Our churches may not be able to experience some of their traditions this year. We are offering a brainstorming session to talk about what we can do. This may involve thinking of new ways.

Early in the pandemic when masks were especially scarce, ruling elder Shelley Thomas of St. Andrew Presbyterian Church in Kimberling City saw a Facebook post on Happy to be a Presbyterian that showed a clothesline full of free masks. Shelley is an avid sewist (someone who creates sewn works of art) and brought the idea to Session. Since then she has researched patterns and sewn over 500 masks. Members of St. Andrew contribute fabric, clothes pins, and Ziplock bags. Now that students are returning to school, Shelley is making masks in three sizes for children. Each mask comes with a note and prayer and they disappear almost as fast as they are hung up.

St. Andrew would like to thank those attending the recent Presbytery meeting for their support. As host of the meeting, St. Andrew will receive half of the offering which will help purchase more child appropriate fabric, ribbon, and thread. If you have not had a chance to do so, you may still make your offering by mailing it to John Calvin Presbytery, P. O. Box 878, Shell Knob, MO 65747 or by using the Give Now button below
