Beaver-Butler Presbytery has dismissed Portersville

Layman Online

Pittsburgh Post Gazette Story:

  • Beaver-Butler Presbytery
  • Portersville Presbyterian Church to EPC
  • 176-members
  • voted 115-3
  • Third Church to be dismissed
  • assets appraised at $423,000
  • tithe of that, $42,300
  • There was no debate
  • A voice vote of more than 100 commissioners, there were just a few dissenters.

The financial terms of the earlier dismissal of Chippewa United Presbyterian Church in Beaver Falls were appealed to a church court, so Chippewa remains in the presbytery pending a decision.

Washington Presbytery is in civil litigation with one (ed: Peters Creek UPC in Venetia, Pa?) that voted to leave without permission.
