At Mills River Presbyterian Church, we are a genuinely welcoming, loving, praying church that wants to continue finding new ways to minister to our congregation, our community, and the world. Our desire is to show God’s love, mercy, and peace, and to build on our deeply held Christian values.
Our church’s mission statement — Building Christ’s Church, Piece by Peace — captures this desire. We have hosted a yearly “Puzzlefest” for more than a decade. Like many of our activities, it’s open to the community. These events have brought a wide variety of people through our doors. We embrace them and welcome the chance to help them put together the pieces of their lives with God’s guidance.
A puzzle is also an excellent representation of what we want to do. At MRPC we use pieces such as a welcoming spirit and a sincere desire to help people through worship, service, and prayer.
At our church, “peace” also plays a critical role in who we are. The song “Let There Be Peace On Earth” has a deep and very special meaning to our congregation. We serve God. And, we are hoping to attain peace through our Christian service.
Trusting God for all guidance, we believe the pieces of our church, combined with our dedicated efforts to build Christ’s church, will lead us to the final product … God’s Peace.
