A heart full of love has no room for hate.

Our Vision

As a member of the Presbyterian Church U.S.A, we aspire to empower all voices and privilege none: seeking consensus whenever possible while providing space for mutual discernment and practice, and supporting minority participation in every way, from technical support to leadership development.

Our Mission

Located in Gastonia, North Carolina, First Presbyterian Church (FPC) is here to study God's word, worship joyfully, serve the community, grow together in faith, work for justice and peace, and share the blessings of comfort and grace with all.

"Those who love me, I will deliver; I will protect those who know my name."

Psalm 91:14

Our Calling

The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)’s Book of Order declares that “the mission of the church is given form by God’s activity in the world as told in the Bible and understood by faith.” We are to be “the provisional demonstration of what God intends for all of humanity.” This call restates the charges for mission in the New Testament.
