Giving back through life-changing experiences.
We worship in person together on Sundays at 10:00am

To boldly carry the light of Christ into the darkest places of our community and live out our congregational call as a Matthew 25 church in the PCUSA
We are on the ancestral homelands of the Upper Skagit peoples. We are grateful for their stewardship of our shared land and waterways since time immemorial. May we live consciously and respectfully, honoring treaties, and remembering that God created everything and we are to keep it sacred.
The mountains, trees, rivers, and lakes that surround us in Concrete and beyond are captivating, but it’s the uniqueness of each person who visits that makes it special. We hope you bring all of who you are to Mount Baker Presbyterian Church, knowing you are welcomed and celebrated; this includes your race, ethnicity, neurodiversity, citizenship, sexual orientation, and gender identity.
