At Mt. Gilead our mission is simple: We are committed to loving God with our heart, soul and mind and our neighbor as ourselves in order to transform our community through Hope, Love and Justice. We are dedicated to fostering an inclusive and affirming environment that celebrates the richness, inherent beauty and strength of God’s Beloved Community.

We believe that the teachings of the Bible are profound and timeless. We are also committed to critically examining the Bible through the lens of liberation to honor Jesus’ mission statement in Luke 4:18. By doing so, we aim to deepen our understanding of the Scriptures and explore how they can guide us in addressing social, racial, and economic inequalities. Indeed, we believe that Christ not only saves us from something but for something and that is to be God’s hands, feet and heart in the world.

We hope that you will find one of our ministries that you can join; or, if there is a ministry you’d like to start, let’s have a conversation. We are on a journey to grow in Christ. Together, we can create a world where hope, love and justice prevail and where all of God’s children are free to become all that God intended for them to be.
