Montevallo Presbyterian Church is a community of Christians who value the Bible as a foundation for our faith and a guide to our daily living.  Scripture informs our worship, preaching, and mission.  We take the Bible very seriously (though not always literally), reflecting thoughtfully on its message, stories, poetry, and parables, and offering various opportunities to read and study the scriptures together.  Additionally, the members of MPC are a people who: 

• Nurture the life-long journey of faith, welcoming questions, doubts, wonder, and wondering as a vital part of this quest.
• Celebrate human diversity and unity that God gives us in Christ, affirming the beauty and dignity of LGBTQIA+ persons.
• Embrace the care of God's creation as a core practice of the Christian faith.
• Are renewed by the Spirit as we pray and work towards the dismantling of structural racism and the eradication of systemic poverty.
