Our Worship

Montreat Presbyterian Church

Worship at
Montreat Presbyterian Church

From mid-August through late May, we worship on Sunday mornings at 10:00 A.M. in “Upper Anderson,” the upstairs sanctuary of Anderson Auditorium, 303 Lookout Road, Montreat, NC, by a covenant relationship with Montreat Conference Center. Our services are livestreamed to MPC’s official YouTube page. Worship services at Montreat Presbyterian Church aim to reflect, in every aspect, what the PC(USA) Book of Order says about our spaces for worship: that they should “facilitate accessibility and ease of gathering, generate a sense of community, and open people to reverence before God.” Not only our space, but our music, our preaching, our liturgy, our welcome, our worship time, our bulletins and sound and lighting and every other consideration are meant to embody those ideals.

The Sacraments

Reformed teaching recognizes two sacraments, instituted by Christ according to the Bible: communion and baptism. We celebrate communion–also known as The Lord’s Supper, the Eucharist, or Holy Communion–monthly in Sunday morning worship (usually on the first Sunday of each month), and at several other services throughout the year. Our table is open to all who come seeking assurance of God’s love for you in Jesus Christ..
