Welcome!
Our Mission is to be a welcoming and caring church, committed to the Gospel of Jesus Christ and empowered by the Holy Spirit to do God’s work in our community and beyond.
Convinced of God’s Grace, we affirm that there can be no exclusiveness in the body of Christ. We welcome all regardless of race, ethnic heritage, national origin, age, ability, gender, marital status, sexual orientation, or socioeconomic standing; and we encourage the full participation of all in the life of our congregation.

Parking Lot Repaving Fund
We have a $80,000 bid to repave the driveway and parking lot — to make our church entrance attractive and safe! Session is asking the congregation to raise half of the cost ($40,000) in order to pave the parking lot. So far we have raised $18,022 towards our goal!
Whether you choose to give at church or online, please make sure your gift is noted for the paving fund.
Reed Library Partnership
Gilead has partnered with Reed Memorial Library to enable the library to open Reed Community Hub with meeting and gathering space and the Jobs Café designed to provide hands-on employment and life-skills training for individuals with developmental and intellectual disabilities. Visit the Library's website for event information carmellibrary.org
Worship, Fellowship, Community
Gilead stands in support of Black lives and the lives of all who suffer from discrimination and abuse. Jesus tells us, “Whenever you did one of these things to someone overlooked or ignored, that was me—you did it to me” (Matthew 25:40). When we remain silent in the face of racism, in the face of any “ism” that allows for the mistreatment of any person based on our differences, we break the commandment to love our neighbors with all our hearts.
We as Gilead Presbyterian acknowledge our need to bear witness and to speak out for justice. We vow to educate ourselves and help tear down the structures that separate us, working to embody true “liberty and justice for all.”
