A Welcoming Charlottesville
Church Community

First Pres is an active congregation of the Presbyterian Church (USA). 


Some of us consider church our second home, and others are discovering the love of God in Christ for the first time. Through worship, fellowship, service, and groups together, we connect with one another as people who have been touched by some inkling of the Spirit and who are looking for ways to deepen our expression of faith, and have it nurtured in a community that endeavors to love thy neighbor. We sense God connecting with us in Scripture, music, and prayer as we have open conversations about how to live our faith in the world today. There's a place for you at First Pres!

Expressions
of Faith

At First Presbyterian Church, we seek to magnify the glory of God and proclaim the gospel through worship that challenges the mind, nourishes the spirit, honors tradition, demonstrates liturgical depth, exercises creativity in its use of music and the arts, and addresses the needs of individuals and families today.
