Welcome to Gilead Presbyterian Church, where our doors are wide open to people from all backgrounds.

What visitors usually notice first the warmth and love of the people. Our size has benefits: we're small enough for you and your family to feel connected to others but big enough to worship on Sunday anonymously, if you choose to. And if you'd like to develop authentic and enduring relationships with others, then you'll be glad to know that is the spirit of our church.

Christmas Poinsettias Together, we're striving to become a church-- with relevant faith teaching for daily living, mind and heart-felt worship, honest friendships, and compassionate care for those in need. In short, we'd like to have the kind of church that can influence and encourage the entire community, one person at a time.

So whether you're a person just starting to ask questions about God, or a committed Christian who wants to deepen your faith, you can find a home here at Gilead.

You'll find that this is a place where people care for one another-because God cares for us.
