Mission matters. Race matters.
As our nation continues to grapple with the consequence of racial injustice, we as Christians need to have a truthful conversation with one another on how our understanding of race impacts the way we engage in God's mission.
To all members and friends of First Presbyterian Church,
For 4 Wednesdays in October (Oct. 7, 14, 21, & 28), everyone is invited to join in a virtual/online lecture series presented by Pittsburgh Theological Seminary.
Topics include :
- October 7--Unlearning the Habits of Slaveholder Religion
Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove delivers the lecture
Comment from one of our viewers: "Interesting food for thought that I nibbled on for several days"

Sunday Virtual Worship Service Available Here
Welcome to our virtual worship service which has been designed for October 25, 2020. While our church building is closed to in-person worship, we trust that this brief worship service may help us to connect to each other and to God who loves us beyond measure. We pray that you will find hope for your life in these challenging times of the Corona virus.
