The word "Presbyterian" comes from the Greek word for "elder" ("presbuteros"). Rather than being led by a single person, we're guided by a group of men and women called by God and approved by our congregation to serve as elders. We're part of a larger network of churches called a "presbytery"—these are Presbyterian churches we partner with for encouragement, support, accountability, and prayer. Together, we belong to the Evangelical Covenant Order of Presbyterians (ECO Presbyterian).

While many think of a "church" as a building or organization, we're really about people.  At our heart, we are a Christ-centered family on a mission to love God, love people, and make disciples. We're proud of our history and grateful for our building, but what truly matters is worshipping God today, loving each other like family, and staying committed to the mission God has given us. We partner with a variety of Mission Partners in the St. Louis area and around the world, but we also join them for activities! On any given week, you’ll find Covenant Partners (that’s what we call church members) serving alongside our mission partners.

We stand with other followers of Jesus Christ throughout the centuries, affirming with them the core beliefs of the Christian faith, found in classic formulations of faith like the Nicene Creed and the Apostles' Creed.

We are a church in the Reformed Tradition that holds to the following:

• Scripture Alone is our ultimate authority for faith and life
• Faith Alone in Jesus Christ, not good works, is what saves us
• Grace Alone saves us as God's free gift
• Christ Alone is our mediator with God and our only salvation
• Glory to God Alone—only God (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) deserves our praise

Bonhomme is one local expression of Christ's body in the world, and we value other churches and gladly partner with them in work that puts Christ first. All who want to learn more about Christ or those who want to share the love of Jesus with others are invited to become a part of our church family.
