Understanding the Resource Center Catalog

The Resource Center materials are organized by resource type and description. Either of these may be used for a search process. A search may also be made by Author, Title, Publisher or Subject.

Policy for use:

1.    Resources are available for loan to all members of PEVA churches.

2.    Loan period is for two weeks, unless you ask for an extension to use the resource longer.

3.    Use the Search function to find resources, and email the Resource Center about a reservation. We will confirm your reservation by email after checking availability. The loan is not guaranteed until our return email.

4.    You may pick up your resources here at the Presbyterian Center at the appointed date.

5.    When the distance is an issue, we can mail them Media Rate allow up to two weeks for delivery. You will be responsible for return postage. Please reuse the same box for security of the resource.

6.    Overdue letters will be mailed quarterly prior to the Presbytery meeting (January, Aptil, July, October); after six months, if the resource has not been returned to the Resource Center, borrowers will be asked to financially replace the lost resource.

The Resource Center of the Presbytery of Eastern Virginia contains over 7,000 books, DVD's videos, curriculum samples, program guides, CD’s, interactive software and study helps all intended to enhance the programs of the 64 local churches.

Located at the Presbyterian Center in Portsmouth, the Resource Center is open daily, and the Interim Director, Ellen Clements, is available to assist church pastors, elders and members to find just what they are looking for.

Whether its an idea for a youth program, a way to emphasize hunger or peacemaking, curriculum for new officer training, how to start a children’s church, what’s happening in PC(USA) missions, explorations into PC(USA) colleges and seminaries, or a need for Bible commentaries, the Resource Center can offer options.
