The Drayton Avenue Presbyterian Church

Located in residential northwest Ferndale, Michigan, Drayton Avenue Presbyterian Church enjoys serving as a worship home to the community. Drayton Avenue is a small church with a big building and an even bigger heart. The Drayton Avenue family welcomes everyone, whatever your age, politics or persuasion to worship each Sunday morning at 10:00 AM.

Drayton Basics:

Drayton Avenue Presbyterian Church started out as a childrens' Sunday school that met under a grove of trees in the summertime. After a few years, those informal sessions evolved to become a church. Today, we have our eighth pastor - J. Scott Miller – and our dedication to Christian teaching and service remains strong.

The Drayton family continues to work at keeping Drayton a relevant and integral part of the community. Our building, for example, is home to drug and alcohol assistance groups, scouts, other faith communities, and a community pre-school. Countless other groups also use the building for functions throughout the year. We are a charter supporter of the South Oakland Shelter. We also coordinate an annual food collection program each February called People to People mission.

We see one another not simply as members and friends – but as part of a large family. We see going to church each Sunday as something to look forward to, a time of peace, and a weekly sanctuary from the world. To us, Drayton is a place where you can be you - a place where, with God’s help, each one of us is affirmed in meaningful and lasting relationships. It is a place where we can all grow, again with God’s help, in Christian faith at our own pace. In short, Drayton Avenue is our home.
