Kirk of Kildaire, Presbyterian

Kirk of Kildaire is a PC(USA) church that has served the greater Cary area since 1979 from Kildaire Farm Road. It describes itself as a Christ-centered family of faith, which is a fair description of how it operates.

The congregation’s aim is to live and know God’s love for one another, for its neighbors, and for the world. Events, forums, and study groups run through the year, and much of the church’s energy goes outward, into the communities around it. Visitors are welcome at most of it.
