The Berkshire Valley Presbyterian Church and Oak Ridge Presbyterian Churches are 10.4 miles apart on the Berkshire Valley Road. The two congregations discovered that they were looking for a pastor about the same time – an idea was born. Following some conversations, facilitated by the interim pastors and the Committee on Ministry, the two congregations agreed to an experiment of sharing a pastor. At the Presbytery Meeting on January 12 at the Oak Ridge Presbyterian Church, the two churches shared their story of their experiment together.
