At Mills River Presbyterian Church, we seek to be a community shaped by God’s love, grounded in generosity, and committed to serving our congregation, our neighbors, and the wider world with compassion and hope. Everything we do supports the mission and vision God has entrusted to us.
Our mission—Building Christ’s Church, Piece by Peace—captures the heart of who we are. For years, our annual Puzzlefest has welcomed people from across the community into our space. What began as a fun gathering has become a beautiful expression of our identity: many different pieces coming together to create something meaningful and whole.
That image reflects our ministry. Each act of welcome, each moment of worship, each offering of service becomes one more piece in the larger picture God is forming among us. No single piece stands alone; together they reveal a community held by grace, guided by the Spirit, and eager to share God’s love.
Here at MRPC, we are called to Build Christ’s Church Piece by Peace by:
- Loving God and One Another
- Offering meaningful and inspiring worship
- Welcoming all of God’s beloved children
- Reaching out to our community and the world in love and service
- Nurturing a culture of spiritual growth
- Cultivating authentic connection—living out what we believe with honesty, integrity, and joy
Trusting God for guidance, we continue piecing together a community that reflects Christ’s peace—one relationship, one act of kindness, one faithful step at a time.
