COVID-19 Updates
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all indoor services and activities have been canceled at First Presbyterian Church until further notice.
We are excited to share news that our congregation will begin gathering for outdoor worship beginning on Sunday, August 9, at 9:00 a.m.! As we come together, the Worship and Music committee wants to provide you with information on how we can all enjoy our time together and worship safely. Listed below are some helpful items for you to review:
As of June 1, church staff will be in the office during normal business hours, but will be available by appointment only. To make an appointment, please call (704) 864-2651. We encourage you to continue to contact us via phone or email, as the church building remains closed to the public at this time.
Thank you for your understanding. We covet your prayers as we navigate these days, and please know that we are praying for you, as well. Take good care!

Listed below are some helpful items for you to review:
- All traffic will flow around the southwest side of the church, to the back for parking and seating. Please do not drive or park near the Fellowship Hall. We will have greeters to help guide your way.
- Please bring a lawn chair to enjoy the service near your vehicle. We ask that family units stay together. Please practice social distancing guidelines, and by all means, bring and wear your masks.
- You may enjoy the service from inside your vehicle and listen on your radio by tuning into channel 90.9 on your FM dial. We also ask that you not idle your car while parked. This will allow others around you to hear better as well as not be bothered by vehicle exhaust.
- Please come dressed casually.
- Refreshments will not be served, but you should plan to bring water, coffee, or your favorite morning beverage.
- Restrooms will be available if needed. We ask that they only be used in an emergency as they must be cleaned appropriately afterwards. We would like to limit any possible exposure as well.
- If there is inclement weather, we will issue an email to the congregation Saturday evening around 6:00 P.M. to cancel the service. Please look for that email Saturday evening. If the service is cancelled, we will still offer a Livestream of the service at 9:00 a.m. Sunday.
- We expect that this service will continue for the coming months as we work to find ways to worship safely back in our Sanctuary and Fellowship Hall.
