Join us Sundays
As of November 15, 2020 we will no longer be meeting in person. As COVID-19 continues to spread our session feels that the best way to keep our congregation and community safe is by worshiping virtually. You may join us on Live on Facebook Sundays at 10am or on our YouTube channel and website after worship has concluded.
Worship begins at 10:00am, where we praise God in a traditional style embracing the Holy Spirit. Children of God of all ages and abilities are welcome to worship with us. We are handicap accessible and have an elevator so all are able to join us.
Our Story
Our church family has been in ministry together for over 150 years since its formation as The First United Presbyterian Church in 1852. The need for a larger building led to the erection of a new church in 1869 which was destroyed by fire in 1917. The present brick building was built and dedicated in 1919. In 1969 the First Methodist Church of Decatur which was formed in 1861 merged with the Presbyterian church to form the First Presbyterian Church of Decatur.
