Welcome to Mountain Shadows Presbyterian Church

Centered in Christ, Caring for Community.  That's more than our tagline. It's our way of worshiping and serving. It could be your way, too!  

The Lord be with you!  Whether you are worshiping with us from home through Zoom or joining us in person, we welcome you to take a deep, refreshing breath, so you may offer your whole-hearted commitment to God.
