About Us

Spruce Presbyterian Church has a long and rich tradition of being part of the community of Spruce Michigan.  We were founded in 1888 as the First Presbyterian Church of Caledonia Township and we were the first Presbyterian Church in Alcona County.  We have met with our own trials and tribulations, and with God’s help we have endured, persevered and overcome.  Our original white clapboard building burned down in 1933, at that time our members, assisted by others in the community, built the main fieldstone structure that stands today. An entry and foyer were added in the 90’s matching our fieldstone structure.
We have been a staple in the Spruce community for over 100 years assisting, supporting, and working with other churches in the Alcona County region. Our slogan of “Feeding the Flock” are words we endeavor to emulate, as we continue to engage with our community in various ways.  Our friendly and welcoming congregation look for ways to serve those in need as well as one another.  We look forward to seeing you at Sunday morning service and enjoying a visit during the following coffee hour.
