Our Ministries

First Presbyterian of Hendersonville has a reputation for a few things. Above all, our identity is claimed through the endless grace and love of Jesus Christ.

You may know us by our humble, lighthearted approach to worship. Or maybe you’ll know us as the congregation that tithes like none other.

There’s no passing of the plate during our worship, yet we still manage to dedicate a full THIRD of our gifts to the surrounding community. We believe that God will provide for us as we provide for those around us.

Our congregation is small but mighty. Please join us and see what we’re about first hand.

A part of the Reformed tradition, PCUSA is the largest Presbyterian denomination in the United States. Established in its current form in 1983, PCUSA is characterized by a progressive stance on doctrine and a spirit of inclusiveness.

Safelight provides support for victims of interpersonal violence and domestic abuse. In addition to monetary support, FPC has also offered holiday meals, complete with visits from Santa Claus.

We are proud to be members of the Presbytery of Western North Carolina, which includes 103 congregations with over 15,000 members and spans to the east of Gastonia, north to Banner Elk, and west to the Tennessee line.

FPC has partnered with the Hendersonville Rescue Mission since 1989. Together, we serve the homeless community in Henderson County.
