From their website:
“Govans” (Govan, Govane) is the name of the community in which the church is located. The family that established old Govanstown in the late 1700’s came from the Glasgow area of Scotland – where another congregation, with roots dating back to 575, bears the same family name: Govan Old Paris.
Purpose Statement
Govans Presbyterian Church is a theologically progressive community empowering people to make the world better. We empower people to make the world better by encouraging each person to develop and nurture a relationship with God as they understand God. God is the source of our life, joy, healing, wholeness, ability to overcome obstacles and make a positive difference in the world. We provide the means for each person to grow in their relationship with God, by inviting and welcoming all people to worship, learn, serve, and care for one another.
As a Christian community, we embrace values and virtues demonstrated in the life and teaching of Jesus and throughout the Bible, including:
Selfless love as demonstrated by Jesus throughout his ministry and death on the cross.
Relational ministry that prioritizes listening and building relationships.
Healing and restoration of God’s creation.
Liberation for all people held in bondage whether by personal or social powers.
Equality and equal opportunity for all people to enjoy the abundance of God’s creation."
