MAYESVILLE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
A Congregation of the Associate Reformed Synod
This is the day that the
Lord has made;
let us Rejoice
and be glad in it.
Psalm 118:24
Welcome
Mayesville Presbyterian Church is a congregation of the Associate Reformed Synod. As such, we are theologically reformed in what we believe and teach. We believe the Bible to be God’s Word, infallible and inerrant in all that it teaches. We are a confessional church in that we believe that the Westminster Confession of Faith, together with the Larger and Shorter Catechisms, accurately summarize the teaching of Scripture and the theological foundations upon which we stand. Our church is Presbyterian in government and Calvinistic in doctrine.
We hope that our website is a helpful introduction to our congregation and denomination. We invite you to visit us on Sunday morning for worship, or for one of our special offerings scheduled throughout the year. Our earnest prayer for you, whether you are discovering us for the first time or you are a regular visitor to our website, is that Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior of your life and that you may grow in grace and in the knowledge of Him.
The Reverend Brian C. Peake
Pastor

Worshipping with Us
The Service
Just as we embrace traditional teachings in our theology, so do we engage in traditional worship. Choir and organ lead worshippers in hymns that have taught and inspired the faithful through the ages. These are interspersed with newer hymns that have won a place in the Church's hymnody because of the strength and integrity of their texts, and the power of the melodies with which they have been paired.
As one family in the Lord, we lift our voices in praise and thanksgiving, profess our belief through the Apostles' Creed, join in intercessory prayer, and hear the Word of God preached and applied to our daily living.
We celebrate the Lord's Supper once per quarter within the context of our regular Sunday morning service, as well as during the Maundy Thursday service.
Amenities
We have a caring and well-staffed nursery for infants and children through kindergarten age.
The church building is equipped with an inductive loop hearing system. Access requires only that one's hearing aid be set on "T-coil."
