First Time Visitors

It is my honor and joy to welcome you to the First Presbyterian Church of Mount Vernon! This church is home to many outstanding ministries, from our Bible studies and prayer groups to our Youth, Music and Christian Education for children and adults.

 

At the heart of our life together is our worship of the Lord Jesus Christ. As a worshiping community we seek to clearly understand the Word of God and thereby share the Good News of new life in Christ with the Mount Vernon and the world.

As we approach our 200th anniversary of ministry, we strive together to give God ever greater glory in all that we do. I invite you to look through this website and consider the opportunities for worship, study, fellowship, growth and service that are available. If I can be of any service, please don't hesitate to call me.

 

In Christ,

 

Jonathan Fettig, Pastor
