Prospect Presbyterian Church will be celebrating a major milestone Sept. 8 as it will be the church’s 200th anniversary.
Located in Rowan County at 9425 N.C. Hwy. 152, Mooresville, the church was organized on Sept. 8, 1824.
When reflecting on their 200 years of ministry and the special event, Rev. Will Gipe, the current pastor at Prospect Presbyterian Church who has been there almost six years, said, “we’re just appreciative and humbled really by 200 years and what God’s been doing for 200 years. I think we certainly feel great joy in being part of something like this and getting to be the people who mark that, but obviously all the people that have come before and what God’s done for 200 years.
He also added that there is also “a great sense of responsibility to the God who brought us here and to the people who have been making this church happen and making it a blessing and doing things for 200 years.”
To commemorate the occasion, the day will feature many special events for members and guests alike.
