contents A system $\boldsymbolλ_θ$ is developed that combines modal logic and simply-typed lambda calculus, and that generalizes the system studied by Montague and Gallin. Whereas Montague and Gallin worked with Church's simple theory of types, the system $\boldsymbolλ_θ$ is developed in the typed base theory most commonly used today, namely the simply-typed lambda calculus. Further, the system $\boldsymbolλ_θ$ is controlled by a parameter $θ$ which allows more options for state types and state variables than is present in Montague and Gallin. A main goal of the paper is to establish the basic metatheory of $\boldsymbolλ_θ$: (i) a completeness theorem is proven for $βη$-reduction, and (ii) an Andrews-like characterization of Henkin models in terms of combinatory logic is given; and this involves, with some necessity, a distanced version of $β$-reduction and a $\mathsf{BCKW}$-like basis rather than $\mathsf{SKI}$-like basis. Further, conservation of the maximal system $\boldsymbolλ_ω$ over $\boldsymbolλ_θ$ is proven, and expressibility of $\boldsymbolλ_ω$ in $\boldsymbolλ_θ$ is proven; thus these modal logics are highly expressive. Similar results are proven for the relation between $\boldsymbolλ_ω$ and $\boldsymbolλ$, the corresponding ordinary simply-typed lambda calculus. This answers a question of Zimmermann in the simply-typed setting. In a companion paper this is extended to Church's simple theory of types.
