Podcasts by Northminster Presbyterian Church
We believe that God has called us to represent His love in the world by building friendships, being transformed as we learn and live His Word and by serving our neighbor with care. We call this moving In.Up.Out. Join us for our weekly sermons as we explore the truth of God’s Word, the beauty of Jesus and how we can follow Him more faithfully IN. UP. and OUT. Northminster Presbyterian Church is an ECO congregation in Peoria, Illinois.
