We are at 3501 West Market Street. The church doors are accessed by coming in from the parking lot once you take the W. Market Street driveway. Look for large glass doors. On Sunday mornings, there are people standing outside in the parking lot and outside the sanctuary to greet you and help you find anything you might need such as finding the nursery or a fresh cup of coffee.
Starmount Presbyterian Church has approximately 350 members of all ages and ethnicities who live throughout Greensboro and Guilford County.
Our worship services are great times of celebration in which we seek to uplift and magnify the name of our God while being inspired and encouraged to live for Him. Our pastors preach a relevant message from God’s Word and frequently follow the Revised Common Lectionary which are taken from The New Revised Standard Version Translation of The Bible. The service music is a unique blend of music designed to appeal to all styles and tastes. For more information about Worship click here.

Yes! We provide professional childcare during worship for children ages birth to 2 years. Children of any age are invited into worship. Following the Children’s Message, children ages 3 to 2nd grade may remain in Worship or go to an age-appropriate Sunday School class. If children choose to remain in worship, we provide a worship bag with quiet activities. Professional childcare is also available for most activities and programs that Starmount provides.
We are part of the Presbyterian Church (USA). Presbyterians are Christ-followers first and share most beliefs with other Christian denominations; Presbyterians are distinctive in two major ways: they adhere to a pattern of religious thought known as reformed theology and a form of government that stresses the active, representational leadership of both ministers and church members. The local church governing body of which SPC is a part is Salem Presbytery.
The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), with denominational offices in Louisville, Kentucky, has approximately 1.6 million members, nearly 10,000 congregations, and 14,000 ordained and active ministers. Our denomination ordains all who are called by God regardless of gender or sexual orientation. For more information about PC(U.S.A) click here.
It is our desire to offer a well-rounded Christian program for the entire family. We offer many programs that are designed to help people know Christ and grow in faith. During worship, there is a program for children who stay in church until after the children’s message. Sunday School is for all age groups at 9 a.m. There are many other programs and opportunities for Christian fellowship including dinners, small group meetings, fellowship, Starmount Friends, missions and Presbyterian Women.
Absolutely! Age-specific programs are available for all children of the church. Sunday School classes are divided by grades. Programs outside of Sunday School are regularly scheduled.
Starmount has been known for many years for its strong youth program.

At Starmount, there is no pressure to join the congregation officially as a member. Many people make that commitment after they have developed relationships in the church and express their desire to become an official part of the church family. You can always learn more information about the church, its ministries, and its activities by attending one of Starmount’s regularly scheduled Visitor Receptions. When you have come to that place of deciding to join, there are regularly scheduled new members classes that you can attend.
