Faith Presbyterian Church has been part of the Melrose community since 1957. It was sponsored by First Presbyterian Church of Palatka and Reverend James Neale was our first pastor. We are a part of the Presbytery of St. Augustine and the Presbyterian Church, U.S.A. Our mission is to spiritually strengthen the church body through the proclamation and teaching of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, to train
and nurture the next generation, and to reach out to all people to encourage faithful stewardship of God's gifts. Our current minister is Pastor Don Mossa. He has been with us since the end of January 2018 and, although taking a short leave of absence to attend to family members this spring, will be with us for the foreseeable future. Our clerk of session is Gayle Bone and inquiries can be addressed to her. Our Music and choir director is Laurel Lamme and all musical questions can be directed towards her. We are worshiping in person, following social distancing and face masks are optional. Please follow this Facebook site for community care and worship. Please watch the videos and comment. Watch our Sunday service live here on Facebook. We have a variety of groups that meet throughout the week and month that are open to all who are interested. Here is a list of our schedule:
