That simple statement summarizes what has been the mission of First Presbyterian Church for one hundred and eighty-seven years. Deeply committed to outreach FPC has been a faithful witness to Christ reaching out to God's people in the Ashland area and around the world.

This web site provides a small window into the life and work of FPC. We invite you to stop in and find out more about our congregation and how you can share in our worship and service to God. As you visit the site, picture yourself in our family portrait.

At FPC you will find an open and inclusive congregation, mirroring the larger body of Christ in both our diversity and our unity. You will find here a church that is theologically progressive. Individual members express their faith in Christ in a variety of ways, and enter into lively and open conversation with each other about the difficult issues of the day. Believing that we are called to love God with our minds as well as our hearts, our Sunday school and other educational offerings are designed to help each member and friend of FPC grow and mature in their faith.

Be sure to visit the pages which tell about the current educational offerings. Come to any of our activities, at any time, and you will find a warm welcome and, we hope, a church family where you can feel at home. Worship at First Presbyterian is traditional, liturgical, and Spirit-filled. Sunday school is at 9:30 with worship starting at 10:50 each Sunday morning. A nursery is always provided, and the church is fully accessible. Come and visit us soon!
