Wilton Presbyterian Church

What Wilton Presbyterian Church does

Wilton Presbyterian Church is a non-profit, PCUSA-affiliated religious congregation operating from 48 New Canaan Road in Wilton, Connecticut, under the Presbytery of Southern New England. The church delivers weekly Sunday worship services at 10 am, pastoral care, faith formation programs spanning Pre-K through 12th grade (Children's Church School, nursery, confirmation, youth groups), music and arts ministries led by a Ph.D.-credentialed Music Director, and community outreach including Midnight Run NYC homeless missions and annual Rise Against Hunger meal packaging events that mobilize 650+ volunteers. Its leadership model is a distinctive three-part-time co-pastor 'Triad' (Rev. Mark Montgomery – Worship & Administration; Rev. Chris Tate – Outreach & Technology; Rev. Jessica Jones – Pastoral Care & Faith Formation), supported by a Director of Family Ministries, Music Director, WEPCO Director, Office Administrator, and nursery staff for a total headcount of approximately eight.

The church's product surface is a portfolio of programs and a small digital stack rather than a technology product. The digital layer consists of a WordPress website, the Realm SaaS platform for member directory and giving, YouTube-hosted sermon archives, and an event calendar plugin. There is no proprietary technology, mobile app, or API. Revenue is generated entirely through voluntary member donations: in-person tithes and offerings, recurring and one-time online gifts via Realm, and stock donations channeled through a published stock-donation form. The church also maintains an endowment request process, indicating modest investment-management activity alongside operating donations.

The go-to-market is community-led, relying on Sunday services, pastoral outreach, fellowship programs run by Deacon teams (Fellowship, Helping Hands, Connections), interfaith partnerships (Wi-ACT, St. Matthew's Episcopal, S.T.A.R. New Canaan, Pacific House), and visible LGBTQIA-affirming branding through Presbyterian Promise membership and Pride participation. Customer segments span general community members, families with children and youth, adults seeking pastoral care, LGBTQIA individuals and families, and service-oriented volunteers. The congregation is geographically concentrated in Wilton, CT, with mission-program reach extending into New York City.
