You Belong Here.
Welcome Home.
We’re so glad you’re here, and we know visiting a church for the first time can come with questions. Whether you’re exploring faith, looking for a church home, or just curious, we want your visit to feel comfortable, meaningful, and full of grace.
We Have Something for Everyone!
Young Families
Raising kids and growing in faith can go hand-in-hand. We’re here to support your whole family on the journey. Worship is welcoming and joyful, and children are always invited to participate, wiggles and all! We offer nursery care, age-based programs, and a safe, nurturing environment where kids can learn, grow, and belong.
Newcomers to Gastonia
First Presbyterian Church is a community of people growing in faith, building friendships, and serving our neighbors. Whether you’re looking for a place to worship, connect, or volunteer, we’d love to help you feel at home, both in church and in the community.
Returning Churchgoers
If you’ve been away from church for a while, you’re not alone—and you are deeply welcome here. FPC is a place of grace, renewal, and belonging. Whether you’re returning with questions, curiosity, or a hunger for spiritual connection, we invite you to explore at your own pace. There’s no pressure and no expectations, just a caring community ready to walk with you.
