Our Mission

We Teach

People have studied and ministered here.  They have shared their possessions and cared for children, for the sick and for the aged.  They have been baptized here, married here and raised families here. 

We Serve

There are no superheroes here, no superstars or celebrities–for, it is God’s Spirit who holds us together as people and a congregation.  

We Care

Education is an integral part of people’s lives and therefore, is an imprescriptible part of our Church and community.

Testimonials

We Were Greeted with Open Arms!
“When my wife, Brianna, and I first visited First Presbyterian Church of Pulaski, we were greeted with open arms. Neither of us grew up in the Presbyterian Church, but from the very beginning, we felt at home here, like we were part of a family. We also enjoy having fellowship with the people here, who come from so many backgrounds, each with a different story to share. It’s a privilege to be serving on the session of a church where differing opinions and ideas are always respected and supporting our community is so important.”

"People welcome me as I am." - Pamela Keller
What keeps people coming back to First Presbyterian Church Pulaski week after week? Pamela Keller said, "I want to have consistency and to worship in a place where I feel loved and can be myself."

Pamela has been an active member of First Presbyterian Church Pulaski for 30 years. Her involvement has included two terms serving on the Session, a group of church lay leaders who provide guidance to the church body and staff. She has a granddaughter who loves to participate in Wednesday night student activities. "I've seen people married, baptized, and eulogized here over the years here."

A central focus of the church is accepting and nurturing people who attend, said Pamela. "At First Presbyterian Church, I feel that people welcome me as I am."

“We belong here.” – Colby and Katie Collins
Katie Collins grew up at First Presbyterian Church Pulaski. So, when she moved back to Pulaski as an adult, making First Presbyterian Church her church home was natural. “I wanted to come back home, not just to Pulaski, but to the church where I grew up,” said Katie.

“The church always felt like a second home,” continued Katie. “I always felt safe there. The love you always feel there is uplifting. I wanted my child to have the same experience I had growing up in church.”

“I always feel close to God at this church,” said Katie.

For her husband Colby, church was not always a part of his life. “After Katie and I got married, I started going to First Presbyterian with her,” said Colby. He said he felt a home there. “I wanted to raise a child where it felt like it was home.”

According to Katie, “Colby feels more at peace, more like he belongs, more committed as a dad.”

Our History

First Presbyterian was founded in 1828, and our sanctuary was built in 1882. In the 1920s, there were additions and modifications to the sanctuary to make space for Sunday School classrooms. Then in the 1960s, a fellowship hall and more classrooms were added.

 

So, people have been calling this place home as a congregation for many years, and we treasure the stories and the buildings we have inherited from earlier generations.

 

What has always been important, of course, are the people who have worshipped and served here as disciples of Jesus. People have studied and ministered here. They have shared their possessions and cared for children, for the sick and for the aged. They have been baptized here, married here and raised families here. They have volunteered and served here and around the world. They have sought peace and survived wars. They have celebrated and grieved together. They have faced everything with God as their help. This has been a sanctuary in many ways.
