About Us

​

Montpelier is a small church of caring people in the Presbyterian tradition who are seeking to be faithful to our Lord Jesus Christ as God’s children by:

                                    worshipping God,

                                    loving one another, 

                                    and welcoming others.

​

We are a part of the Presbyterian Church (USA).  We believe that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior and God’s only begotten Son who died on the cross to save us by HIs grace and was raised from the dead to prove to us God’s power over sin and death.  We believe the Bible to be the sacred Word of God inspired by the Holy Spirit.  We believe in the Trinity of God the Father, Jesus Christ His Son, and the Holy Spirit, one God in three persons. To find more about our beliefs please go to pcusa.org.  

 

What you can expect on Sunday morning:  You will be greeted at the front door and receive a warm welcome and a service bulletin.  Our worship service is traditional with

• prayers, 

• both traditional and modern hymns, 

• scripture readings 

• a children’s sermon complete with coloring and puzzle pages

• a sermon based on that day’s readings with an emphasis on living out our faith in our every day lives. 

We do not take up an offering although there are plates available at the entrance to the church.  

Dress is casual and there’s even a rocking chair in the back of the sanctuary if one is needed.  

We won’t pressure you to sign up for anything.  

You’ll find information on our Bible study and children’s Sunday School under Faith Development.
