Study Groups

Prior to Lent (Easter) and Advent (Christmas), study groups meet for a 4-6 week Bible study related to the season.  Various meeting days and times are offered, and attendees sign up for the class they want. Pastor Gretchen ties her sermons to the studies to make them a cohesive experience for the whole congregation.

Stephen Ministers

Stephen Ministry is a program of confidential one-to-one lay caring ministry to parishioners  experiencing life difficulties (loss, divorce, loneliness, illness).  Stephen ministers receive fifty  hours of training in Christian caregiving  and meet monthly for peer professional support and continuing education. The ministry of the Stephen Ministers has been a blessing to individuals, to the lay ministers themselves, and to the whole congregation.

Deacons

A deacon’s role is one of compassion, witness, and service to the church family of Green Mountain Presbyterian (members, visitors and guests).  Deacons are assigned to members of the congregation and maintain contact with their parish members on a frequent basis. They assist the pastors in delivering communion to members of their parish, prepare Thanksgiving baskets for the homebound and host memorial services for members of the congregation. On an annual basis each deacon hosts a luncheon for their parish.

Presbyterian Women’s Circles

Two Presbyterian Women’s study groups operate at GMPC, and all women are welcome:

  • Charity Circle meets on the fourth Tuesday of each month September through June at 10:00am to study the current Horizon’s course.

  • Hope Circle meets on the first Monday of each month September through May at noon to study a new book each year.
