Who We Are
Presbyterian Kirk in the Pines is a warm and welcoming community of faith in Hot Springs Village. Rooted in Presbyterian tradition, we believe in one eternal God, creator and sustainer of the world which we are to enjoy and care for. We believe God is revealed in, as, and through Jesus of Nazareth, God’s son, fully human and divine.
In his death by crucifixion Jesus reconciled humanity to God. Through his resurrection he lives eternally with God and is Lord of all creation.
We believe God’s living spirit is our guide and comfort as we endeavor to faithfully follow Jesus.

From inspiring worship services to educational programs, fellowship gatherings, and community outreach, there’s something for everyone. Whether you’re seeking spiritual growth, meaningful friendships, or ways to serve, you’ll find programs that nurture both your heart and spirit.
