Hendersonville church seeks dismissal from PC-USA
First Presbyterian Church of Hendersonville plans a June 5 vote to leave the Presbyterian Church USA and join a more conservative Reformed body, Evangelical Presbyterian Church. The decision hinges on a 75 percent yes vote by at least half the active members, with potential for a negotiated property settlement on the two acre site valued at 4.2 million. The church cites drift from Solus Christus and long dispute over ownership of the building and debt.
