If you didn't recognize the name Kings Mountain Presbytery, well, that's because there no longer is a Kings Mountain Presbytery. We are now in the Presbytery of Western North Carolina. Today the Presbyterian Church of Lowell is still carrying on with pride, as our fore father's once did when this church was formed. We strongly believe in the power of prayer and hold a strong belief in the reformed tradition of the Presbyterian Church USA. |
