Cottage Grove Avenue Presbyterian Church is a diverse congregation in a variety of ways.
 
Age:  We range in age from 90's to a few months old.
 
Racially:  We are a mixture of black and white.
 
Culturally:  We are a mixture of Caucasian Americans, African-Americans, and refugees from East Africa, mostly the Sudan.
 
Worship:  We have three worship services:  English, Mabaan, and Arabic as spoken in Southern Sudan.
 
Politically:  We range from conservative to liberal.  We are a More Light Church, which means we welcome all, without bias regarding affectional orientation.
 
Most importantly, we are a mission-oriented community that cares about one another!
