Enter His Courts
with Praise
A congregation of reverence, renewal, and radical welcome — faithfully proclaiming the Gospel of grace since 1831.
“I was glad when they said to me, ‘Let us go to the house of the Lord!'”
Rooted in Scripture.
Alive to the World.
First Presbyterian Church exists to worship the Triune God, disciple all generations in the faith, and bear witness to the Gospel in Charleston and to the ends of the earth. We are a confessional congregation shaped by the Westminster Standards and committed to the ordinary means of grace.
