Sunset Presbyterian Church is now a member of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church (EPC).
In November of 2008 the Presbytery of the Cascades of the Presbyterian Church (USA) voted to release Sunset to EPC. This concluded a year long process of conversation and negotiation. The gracious process and attitude from Cascades Presbytery is very much appreciated. Additional details about the release and transfer are included in the links below.
We are currently getting acquainted with our new denomination and will post updates here as we begin to live into our new community of faith.
Our congregation wishes to express their gratitude to all who worked hard and prayed fervently to make this move a reality. We look forward to where God is leading us in the future. Your continued prayers will be appreciated
