The mission of the First Presbyterian Church of Gloucester is to proclaim the love, mercy, power and wisdom of our Creator, the One True God, as set forth in His inspired Word, the Holy Bible. We further proclaim that we are saved by God's grace through the sacrificial death and victorious resurrection of Christ Jesus, His only Son. We are charged with the responsibility to lead others to accept His priceless gift. In obedience to God and with gratitude for His everlasting love, we are to reach out to His children of all ages and conditions. Following Christ as our example, we must work for reconciliation, unity, and peace by responding, with compassion, to the spiritual, physical, and emotional needs of the congregation, surrounding community, and a rapidly changing world.

We are caretakers of the rich heritage of this church, which has been characterized through the years by a loving, caring congregation. We demonstrate our faith and commitment through worship, Bible study, prayer, evangelism, stewardship, service, and fellowship as led by the Holy Spirit. In fulfilling our mission, we will provide dedicated professional and lay leaders, office staff, modern equipment, and adequate facilities and space for both present and future needs. We will continue to nurture God's covenant community of individuals and families united in love, seeking to obey His will as we worship, study, pray, and work daily to his glory.
