We gather in worship to praise God and hear God’s word.

Our Mission

“The mission of First Presbyterian Church is to be a joyful community of faith in which persons are nurtured, challenged, and comforted, and through which Christ takes form in this community and the world at large.”

We welcome ALL people to join us in worship, study, fellowship, and service.

We follow Christ into the world to share God’s love.

Our Vision

“First Presbyterian Church, Henderson, NC, is a community of faith and hope in Christ, inviting all people into fellowship, worship, learning, and ministry.

Our grateful response to God’s love and grace is to work together to discover our neighbors’ needs and to help fulfill those needs by sharing our time, talents, financial and physical resources.”

Sunday Schedule

During the pandemic, we will hold outdoor services at 11am on Sundays in the memorial garden. You will also be able to park in the lot across the street and listen via FM radio. We pray that we will soon be able to return to our regular schedule below:

Sunday School is suspended until we can gather again safely. Normally, Sunday school for all ages 9:45-10:30 / Worship service 11:00am in sanctuary. A nursery is provided for very small children. Older children are encouraged to worship with their families. Holy Communion is served on the first Sunday of each month.

PLEASE JOIN US — ALL ARE WELCOME!

Special services - on hold until further notice!

Contemplative worship (informal with lots of silence and prayer) with Holy Communion 6:30-7:00 on the third Thursday of each month.

Other special services include Ash Wednesday (February 26, 2020), Maundy Thursday (April 9, 2020) , the beginning of Advent, and Christmas Eve.

Accessible

There are ramps into the fellowship hall and in the interior of the building for level changes. Our elevator’s ground-level entrance is beside the sanctuary, and the elevator can be used to access the sanctuary level and basement level of the building. The outside door to the elevator is unlocked on Sunday mornings and for special worship services, including weddings and funerals. To make arrangements for the elevator to be available at other times, please call the church office. Accessible restrooms are located at the entrance to the fellowship hall and also in the basement near the elevator.
