The Rev. Lang wrote these words as a preface to the Purpose and Charter of the church:
“Let us have a church that dares imitate the heroism of Jesus; seek inspiration as He sought it; act on the present like Him; pray as He prayed; work as He wrought; live as He lived."

For more than fifty years, the members, leaders and pastors of Fox Chapel Presbyterian Church have continued in the tradition expressed by its first pastor. And those years have been good. Literally thousands of men, women, and children, past and present, have made up its family of faith; and the tradition of Christ-centered ministry in the Fox Chapel area has become an enduring legacy, handed down for others to enjoy and be inspired by.

We welcome you to this vital church community and look forward to an exciting future together.
