Welcome to First Presbyterian Church of Gardner

At First Presbyterian Church of Gardner, we believe that God’s love is meant to be shared — through worship, fellowship, learning, and service to our neighbors.

We are a community of faith rooted in the Presbyterian tradition, a tradition that values thoughtful faith, the study of Scripture, the grace of Jesus Christ, and the belief that God calls each of us to use our gifts to serve others. We welcome questions, encourage spiritual growth, and believe that faith is strengthened when we walk together.

For generations, First Presbyterian Church has been a place where people gather to worship God, build meaningful relationships, support one another, and reach beyond our walls to make a difference in our community. While our congregation continues to grow and adapt, our mission remains the same: to share God’s love and live out Christ’s call to serve.

Who We Are

We are a congregation of people from many different backgrounds and stages of life. Some of us have been part of the church for many years, while others are discovering a church home for the first time. Together, we strive to be a place where everyone can find connection, encouragement, and opportunities to grow in faith.

As Presbyterians, we believe that:

  • Jesus Christ is the center of our faith. We seek to follow Christ’s teachings and share His love with the world.
  • God’s grace is a gift for all people. We believe God meets us where we are and calls us forward in faith.
  • Faith and action go hand in hand. Worship inspires us to serve, care for others, and work toward a more loving and just world.
  • We grow stronger together. Through prayer, study, fellowship, and service, we support one another on our faith journeys.

Our Mission

Our mission is to be a welcoming community where people encounter God, grow in faith, and serve others through the love of Jesus Christ.

We invite you to join us for worship, participate in our ministries, connect with our congregation, and discover how God may be calling you to be part of our shared journey.

Whether you are searching for a church home, returning to faith, or simply curious about who we are, you are welcome here.

Come as you are. Grow with us. Serve with us. Journey with us.
