Located next to the post office on Main Street in downtown Mount Pleasant, our church building is the oldest one in continuous use in the county. Our little congregation still provides Spirit-filled liturgical worship, weekly communion, and a warm community. Come join us on Sunday mornings at 10am for worship. Adult Sunday School immediately follows Sept-May. Meet our people. Meet our pastor. But most importantly, come and meet Jesus who loves you and gave himself up for you so that you might be transformed with us into a people of God.
We are what God has made us – people whom God has created by grace to live in union with Jesus Christ and has prepared to live faithful, fruitful lives by the power of the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 2:8-10). In Jesus Christ, God has reconciled us to God and to each other. As we gather around word and sacraments, this life in Christ is what defines, shapes and guides us as a community of faith, the church.
By God’s grace we can and do live confidently and generously in this community of faith and in service of others, amid the mysteries and paradoxes of this life in Christ – including our human limitations and failings, and the ambiguities, uncertainties and suffering that we experience.
We are a member of the North Carolina Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
We are a church that walks by faith. God’s word, specifically God’s promise in Jesus Christ, creates this liberated, confident and generous faith. God gives the Holy Spirit who uses gospel proclamation – in preaching and sacraments, in forgiveness and in healing conversations – to create and sustain this faith. As a Lutheran church, we give central place to this gospel message in our ministry. Therefore, our worship is centered around two acts: the sharing of the Word and the sharing of Holy Communion. We welcome infants as well as adults to receive the gift of baptism. We are a church that believes everything depends on what God does for us in Jesus.
We confess there to be one God in the three persons of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as confessed in the ancient ecumenical Creeds. We understand to be Lutheran is to be ecumenical – committed to the oneness to which God calls the world in Jesus Christ. We recognize the brokenness of the church in history and the call of God to heal this disunity. We celebrate partnership and cooperation with our neighboring churches so that we might work together for this community.
