Description of Organization
While many think of a "church" as a building or organization, we're really about people. At Bonhomme Presbyterian Church, we are a Christ-centered family on a mission to love God, love people, and make disciples. We're proud of our history and grateful for our building, but what truly matters is worshipping God today, loving each other like family, and staying committed to the mission God has given us. We partner with a variety of Mission Partners in the St. Louis area and around the world, but we also join them for activities! On any given week, you’ll find Covenant Partners (that’s what we call church members) serving alongside our mission partners.
