We hope our website helps you glimpse into life and ministry with Mount Washington
Presbyterian Church. All are welcome here! Our members and friends have different
opinions and convictions about nearly everything, and we enjoy informed and spirited
discussion. We are united by faith, love for each other, and a desire to respond to God’s
blessings with gratitude and to generously share them with others.

We come together to celebrate the presence of God, to learn about and grow in faith,
to care for each other and our local and global neighbors, and to serve as the Spirit leads us.
All that we do begins and ends with worship. Because we know we are blessed, we constantly
reach out to others. In places of need and darkness, we try to offer presence and light.
In places of joy and light we try to give thanks and spread the good news.
