Assessment

Providence is a young PCA plant in Salem (Roanoke metro) that has grown into a particularized congregation. Pastor Jake Hooker has been featured by the Gospel Reformation Network for explicit commitment to ordinary-means-of-grace ministry — Word, sacraments, and prayer — which is a strong confessional marker. Elders and deacons are recently installed in proper PCA order.
