Visitors

We are so excited to welcome you into the mission and ministry of First Presbyterian Church in Gastonia, North Carolina. Thank you for joining us and taking the time to learn more about what makes our congregation so special.

The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)

First Presbyterian Church of Gastonia is a member of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), a Protestant Christian denomination.  Presbyterians trace their history to the 16th century Protestant Reformation, with much of what we believe beginning with French Lawyer John Calvin.   

First Presbyterian Church of Gastonia is also a member of the Presbytery of Western North Carolina, a regional administrative body for the church. 

Come as you are

When it comes to attire, we ask you to come as you are!  Some wear dresses and suits, while others wear slacks and polo shirts. No matter what you wear, you will fit in just fine!

An Open Table

As Presbyterians, we believe that communion with God is not a right bestowed upon the worthy, but a privilege given to those who put their faith in Christ.  All are welcome to share in the sacrament of communion as we worship God together, assured of God’s love and grace in Jesus Christ.

Accessibility

Our Sanctuary and Fellowship Hall are wheelchair friendly and easily accessible! We also offer hearing aid devices.  Please find an usher or greeter who will assist you prior to the service.

Childcare

Childcare is provided in the Children's Building lower level for children from birth to age four during the Sunday morning worship and other services as necessary. Professional staff and parent volunteers provide quality care that is both age-appropriate and welcoming to our youngest disciples!

As we return to in-person worship, nursery care will be provided for up to ten (10) children from infant to age four (4).
