Who We Are

The Presbyterian Heritage Center (PHC) is an independent non-profit organization. We operate a museum, library, and archive in Montreat, North Carolina, which preserves and presents the history of all Presbyterian & Reformed Church denominations. 

Mission Statement

Our mission is to:

1. Educate young people and adults about the heritage and history of churches sharing the Presbyterian and Reformed faith through exhibits and programs, so they may understand and appreciate what God through Jesus Christ has done with and through His People and seek to discern Godʼs will both today and in the future.

2. Discover, collect, document, preserve, exhibit, and make available records, artifacts, photographs, film, books, and other information, both onsite and online, about the history of the Presbyterian & Reformed churches, the church universal and about Montreat.

3. Increase understanding and appreciation of the history of national and worldwide missions, as well as, to promote the importance of present and future missions.
