Join us ~ Connecting people with God and Each Other ~
Welcome to Island Bay Presbyterian Church. We are a community of pilgrims seeking to love and support one another and our wider community as we journey through life. As a Presbyterian church we are oriented towards the God of the Bible who is made known to us most fully in Jesus Christ, who calls us to follow in the way of Christ, and who dwells in us through the presence of the Holy Spirit.
