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.
Join us for Worship on Sundays at 10:00 AM

Parking Lot Repaving Fund
We have a $75,000 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 ($37,500) in order to pave the parking lot. So far we have raised $15,128 towards our goal!
Whether you choose to give at church or online, please make sure your gift is noted for the paving fund.
Supporting our Community
Our mission for January & February is donations for the Putnam Humane Society. They need towels, blankets, comforters, pillows to keep them warm and comfortable in the colder weather. Please put donations in the box in the lounge.
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.”
