We don’t ever claim to be perfect as no true believer should. One of our beliefs is, “We are broken people discovering healing together. We embrace ministry and understand that serving Jesus is never perfect.” The people you meet when you visit Mt. Gilead will be very nice and friendly. But you need to know, before you come, that we’re a bunch of broken messes at times as we try to serve Jesus to the best of our ability.

There are people attending who have hurts, habits, and hang-ups. In fact, perfect people are not allowed. We’re a community of people who don’t have it all together, but we are discovering what it means to find life in Jesus, to follow Him fully, to break free from our past, and to walk in victory together. That’s who we are.

So What to Expect When you Visit

We care about you, not what you are wearing. We don’t care who you’re voting for in the next election or how many tattoos you have. We’re a church full of imperfect, broken people who are coming to know Jesus and serving others together, and regardless of what your story is, we believe you belong here! If you have never been and you’re considering coming, here’s what you should expect…

– Nice People. We LOVE it when someone comes for the first time. But, we try not to point out the fact that you are new as some people are uncomfortable being singled out during a service. We also know that some people who may have visited a few times, still feel new and we try to continue treating you that way so that we can continue to guide you in each time.

– A Casual Atmosphere. We seriously aren’t hung up on what you wear, so feel free to come in jeans or whatever is comfortable. Our dress code is simple: be comfortable. We will NOT single you out or ask you to say anything, and we do NOT expect guests to contribute financially.

We truly want to follow the example of Paul in 1 Corinthians 9 when he said, “I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some.” We have a heart for finding people who are far from God. We’re crazy about broken people and we’ll get our hands messy to serve others. Everybody belongs – every color, every shape, every personality, and people with every kind of story imaginable. We trust the Bible completely and we value Kingdom growth and we value the growth of other churches as much as the growth of Mt. Gilead. And we do everything for the name of Jesus Christ!
