Description of Organization
McIlwain Presbyterian Church is an historic congregation in Pensacola with deep roots in formation of the PCA. For years we were known for hosting the Pensacola Theological Institute which aimed at securing a strong commitment to biblical fidelity in the ministers and members of the church at large. We continue to be known for having a strong pulpit ministry and a robust commitment to supporting foreign missions. We are seeking to rekindle a once-thriving family ministry by investing in a mature and Christ-centered pastor who will disciple teens and young families with a focus on the ministry of the Word.
