We desire loving, strong and meaningful fellowship, lived out through authentic relationships, equipping and nurturing our members to become more Christ-like. We desire to extend the Kingdom of God into the world through loving and serving others, engaging the culture and reaching the unchurched.

Parkminster Presbyterian Church was founded in 1954 as a mission of the United Presbyterian denomination. It grew out of the First United Presbyterian Church, which was located at 131 Plymouth Avenue North. When the State of New York and City of Rochester purchased the land to make way for the Inner Loop, the congregation voted to establish a new church in the suburbs. They purchased a four and one-quarter acre parcel of land on Chili Avenue between Pixley Road and Cardinal Drive for a church and a manse. The first service in the basement of the unfinished new church took place on Easter Sunday, April 4, 1954; led by the first pastor, Rev. Herman W. King, DD. Over the last fifty years, Parkminster Presbyterian Church has been a strong voice in the Rochester evangelical church community. The building and congregation have grown and changed over the years, but its committment to being a church of Jesus Christ has never wavered.

We desire to be a church overflowing with the life of Christ as expressed in a joyful, hopeful and vibrant worshipping community of all ages.
