McLean Presbyterian Church Grace Changes Everything

We meet Sundays at 8:45am & 11:15am. We're imperfect people, all at different stages in our relationship with God.

At McLean, we celebrate God's grace each week — the life, forgiveness, purpose and joy he gives us. Celebrate with us and find a place to connect: Sunday worship at 8:45am & 11:15am with a 10:15am Discipleship Hour.

Join us for our Women’s Fall Breakfast to enjoy a morning of connection and conversation about Overflowing Hope with speaker Abi Byrd.

In a world which feels hopeless, where do we find hope? At our Women’s Fall Breakfast, we will explore the overflowing hope God offers in Romans 15:13. Together, we’ll discover that biblical hope isn’t wishful thinking — it’s a confident assurance rooted in God‘s faithfulness. Our speaker Abi Byrd will open God’s word with us, revealing a hope that is limitless, life-giving, and available to all who trust in him.

RSVP by 9/10. Link in bio. 🔗

Everyone needs Jesus, who came to restore our relationship with God. Our calling is to pray, to notice, to love, to listen, to share our stories, and to invite people to take a next step towards Jesus.

This Sunday, Pastor Ryan will give a special sermon on Luke 15:1–7. We’ll kick off a churchwide effort to pray for someone that God has put on our hearts, invite them to experience the life of our church family with us, and to walk the journey of faith with them.

Happy Labor Day Weekend and see you on Sunday!
