Welcome to the Montpelier First Presbyterian Church family. You are invited to get acquainted with our family and in turn make it your own. Our purpose is to grow spiritually, pray and study scripture daily, worship weekly, serve in ministry here at First Presbyterian, serve in outreach beyond Montpelier, tithe our personal resources, and encourage spiritual growth in others through relationships. We believe with the Saints and Scripture that "Nothing is impossible with God" (Mark 10:27b). Please join us on the journey of your life.

The group consists of kids in Grade 6 to Grade 12. The Committee is looking for adults to sign up a month at a time to plan activities. In the past, the Summit Youth Group has met on the 3rd Sunday of each month following church service. Special events could be on a Sunday or any other day as planned. If you have an interest in working with these great kids, contact Doris Marsh at (419) 485-3339.

First Presbyterian was founded in 1886 as a congregation of ordinary human beings who struggle: As individual Christians, as a body of believers called together to serve Jesus Christ and the Montpelier community.

The mission of First Presbyterian Church of Montpelier is to become a living expression of God's love transforming strangers into a family whose faith, witness and lifestyle reflect discipleship in Jesus Christ.

From this statement we have developed five goals as follows:

• Proclaim the living Christ daily in our words and action

• Reach out to and welcome new sisters and brothers into our family

• Create a supportive faith community

• Involve each member of our family in worship, education, mission and fellowship

• Dedicate our energies and resources to serving others locally and worldwide
