Our Vision:

At First Presbyterian, we seek to be a healthy church exhibiting all the fullness of Christ as we disciple believers who develop spiritually, connect relationally, and engage missionally to reach Chattanooga and the world with the gospel.

Our Purpose:

GATHERING
First and foremost, we gather on the Lord’s Day (Sunday) for public worship. Scripture declares that corporate, public worship is the center of the church’s life. (Ex 19:1-25; Luke 4:16, 24:13-32; Acts 20:7; 1 Cor 16:2; Rev 4-5)

GROWING
We grow spiritually through Sunday School, small groups, Bible studies, prayer meetings, and one on one discipleship for all ages and stages of our church family. (Deut 6:6-8; Eph 4:13; Heb 5:14)
GOING
We take the gospel with outward facing evangelism to our homes by discipling households and practicing Biblical hospitality; to our city and nation by proclaiming the gospel, planting churches, and acts of service to a diverse spectrum of people and needs; and to the world through a dynamic world missions program and key global partnerships. (Matt 28:18-20; Rom 12:13)
