Presbycast is the podcast of Chortles Weakly and Wresbyterian. We're Presbyterian, and we take lots of umbrage. Decently and in order, of course.
WPC is committed to Biblical authority and evangelical proclamation of the historic Christian faith. For those local to the mid-Willamette Valley, we encourage you to visit us for Sunday worship!
