Founded in 1951, Robinson Memorial Presbyterian Church maintains its small church atmosphere, but continues to grow in many ways. We are conveniently located just north of Robinson Elementary School on Union Road in south Gastonia. The mission of Robinson Memorial Presbyterian Church is to love God and all people by living openly Christian lives, spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ, welcoming all into our fellowship and being servants of Christ in our community. John Stanley has been the Pastor of the John C. Robinson Memorial Presbyterian Church since February, 2002. A second career pastor, John was Director of Commercial Marketing, Public Service Company of NC, a natural gas distribution company. Immediately prior to responding to God's call to full time ministry, he was Director of External Relations of PSNC Energy, a SCANA Company, a successor to Public Service Company. We're easy to find. Heading south on Union Road from downtown Gastonia, we are located less than a quarter of a mile south of the intersection with Robinwood and Neal Hawkins Roads. We are on the east side of the road, just north of Robinson Elementary School. We have driveway entrances on the north and south side of the property (the south one appears to be an exit drive for the school).
