Plan a Visit

We’re so glad you are here, and hope to see you in person soon. We look forward to welcoming you in worship.

First Presbyterian Church is a vibrant Christian community where all are welcome, follow Jesus Christ, respect one another, and are strengthened and inspired through worship, study, prayer, and service. Each Sunday, we offer both traditional and informal styles of worship, in person and online, and throughout the week there are many opportunities for spiritual growth and fellowship. Each quarter we offer a class called Discover First for those who would like to learn more about our community. We’d love for you to join us!

Adult Faith Formation

Faith formation is all about taking the next step forward in faith, no matter where you might be on your journey. Discipleship simply requires a commitment to learn more about yourself, the world, God, or Jesus. Our Adult Faith Formation page has a full list of the many classes, groups, and spiritual readings available to you.

Outreach

First Presbyterian Church’s outreach mission is to empower children and families in the East End of Richmond. There are so many different ways to engage with and serve our outreach partners. Visit our Outreach page to learn how you can join in the work of justice, peace, compassion, and equity for all God’s children.

Children

Our primary goal is for children to come to know God’s presence in their lives and to be assured that they are cherished and cared for as beloved children of God. We have Children’s Faith Formation every Sunday during both 10:00 am and 5:00 pm worship, and we always offer special opportunities for children and parents to connect. All children are welcome from four years old through 3rd grade.

Confirmation

Confirmation is the faith formation program for 6th and 7th graders, and for any youth who have not already completed confirmation. At First Presbyterian, Confirmation is a time of exploration as young people prepare to make a personal commitment to their life as a Christian and become a member of the church. Visit our Confirmation page to see a schedule and to learn more about our program.

Youth

Youth Ministry at First Presbyterian Church is committed to safe and authentic exploration of faith and life in exciting, meaningful, and creative ways. All 6th through 12th graders are welcome as we try to understand and respond to God’s presence in our lives. Visit our Youth Ministry page for more details and a schedule.
