Description of Organization

We are a congregation of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church (EPC), a Reformed and confessional family of churches, embracing the Bible, the Westminster Confession of Faith, and Catechisms. Since 1843 Sylvania Presbyterian Church has maintained a distinctly Reformed Christian witness in this area. You can see the essentials of our faith here.

We are a small church in a rural community but situated in between two fast growing cities.  The nearest reformed churches  are 30 to 40 miles away (Little Rock, Conway, Sherwood, etc.).

Sylvania Presbyterian is the second oldest Presbyterian Church in Arkansas.  First Presbyterian (oldest) was planted by the same pastor that planted Sylvania Presbyterian).
