Starmount Presbyterian Church

Starmount Presbyterian Church is located at 3501 West Market Street. In 1951, representatives of Orange Presbytery, Church of the Covenant, and First Presbyterian Church of Greensboro came together to organize a Presbyterian Church in the western part of town. In 1953, the church opened on land that was donated by Mr. and Mrs. W.H. Weaver. 

The building, ministry, and outreach have grown over the decades. From the church website, it seems like membership was at an all time high in the early 1990's, when it peaked at over 1,200. It is such a conveniently-located facility with so many interesting activities, as they enter their 60th year, maybe they can increase heir membership. Do you see that tall cross in the front of the building? Surprisingly, it is made of cement. If you get a chance, stop by and attend an event at Starmount Presbyterian. They are a dynamic congregation.

Their Bach's Lunch in mid-March is a treat for music lovers. It involves music provided by musicians from Greensboro and Winston-Salem.

I like the angles in the facade.

Starmount Presbyterian is a hard church to photograph. It is sprawling and there isn't an entrance that screams "ENTER HERE" More of the building is hidden from the road than visible. However, on a recent, sunny day, it became clear that the blue of the sky provides a brilliant backdrop to the brick-red building atop the manicured, green lawn.
