ABOUT US
Sierra Vista Presbyterian Church in Yuma, AZ, was established in 1956. The Mission of the Church is to make disciples by sharing Jesus with the world. Being good stewards of the resources entrusted to the church, we seek to do Mission in partnership with others. Mission Partnerships are intentional and our partners help us to engage our community and our world in sharing the Gospel.
