    About us

    Mission Statement

    The mission of The Presbyterian Outlook is to provide Presbyterians:

    • Their most engaging venue for connecting,
    • Their most essential means of networking,
    • Their most helpful vehicle for mutual equipping, and
    • Their most robust resource for participating in the worldwide mission of God.

    We strive to provide leaders and future leaders a trusted source of accurate reporting, insightful analysis, thought-provoking commentaries and congregational resources.

    We provide a marketplace and forum for the open exchange of ideas, resources and information, utilizing both print and electronic media.

    Vision Statement

    We have big dreams for the years ahead:

    • We dream of the day when the Presbyterian Church is effectively serving the worldwide Christian movement by being a thought-leader and mission-coordinator for the fulfillment of the missio dei.
    • We envision local Presbyterian congregations being transforming communities for the extension of God’s reign in their neighborhoods and beyond.
    • And we foresee The Presbyterian Outlook supporting this vision by providing not just a magazine but a total communication network by which Presbyterians foster openness, candor, theological acuity and mutual respect throughout the church and world.
