First Presbyterian Church of Clarksville
A Congregation of the Presbyterian Church (USA)
Welcome
First Presbyterian Church is a multi-generational congregation committed to growing and serving together as a community of faith. We are old and young. We are life long Presbyterians and newcomers to the Christian faith. We are young professionals and retirees. We come from many backgrounds and many walks of life.
Whether you are looking for a church home or just beginning to explore the wonders of a life of faith, you are welcome here at First Presbyterian Church. As part of the worldwide Reformed Church, we join our brothers and sisters around the globe in the journey of faith. The Presbyterian Church (USA) as a whole and First Presbyterian Church in particular invites you to come as you and join us in our community of faith.
This website gives you a glimpse of who we are. If you have questions or would like to learn more about First Presbyterian, Presbyterianism in general or if you have a particular spiritual need, please contact the church office or join us on Sunday morning for worship.
"See what love the Father has given to us that we should be called children of God, and that is what we are!" 1 John 3:1
Announcements
In May, we will begin a series of small group conversations about the vision and future of First Presbyterian. Led by the transitional pastor, these conversations are an opportunity to share ideas, hopes and dreams for the next chapter in the life of First Presbyterian Church.
The Rev. Dr. Jerry Rice, no stranger to First Presbyterian Church, will preach and preside at communion on Sunday May 20. Jerry's relationship with First Presbyterian includes his leadership in the difficult months prior to the transition period. A potluck will follow immediately after worship. Robert will be in Austin, TX attending the spring meeting of the Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary board of trustees. Robert is an ex-officio member of the board as representative of the Synod of the Sun. He will be back in the office on Monday.
The Presbytery of Arkansas will gather on June 2 at Ferncliff Camp and Conference Center near Little Rock for the 120th Stated Meeting of the presbytery. The presbytery gathers three times each year to carry out routine business, welcome new pastors and examine candidates for ministry. This meeting holds special importance for First Presbyterian Church. Elder Shere Niece, First Lady at the University of the Ozarks, will be installed as the Vice-Moderator of the presbytery. Her term will run until February 2013 when, at the 122nd Stated Meeting in Clarksville, she will be installed as Moderator. All are welcome to come to Ferncliff and celebrate Shere and her leadership in the church.
The Session will meet on Tuesday May 22nd at 6:30 in the Vera King Parlor. Session meetings are open to all members of the church.
