Visitors | First Presbyterian Church Gastonia

You Belong Here.
Welcome Home.

We’re so glad you’re here, and we know visiting a church for the first time can come with questions. Whether you’re exploring faith, looking for a church home, or just curious, we want your visit to feel comfortable, meaningful, and full of grace.

What to Expect

Our worship services are Christ-centered, thoughtful, and joyfully rooted in the Reformed tradition. You’ll hear Scripture, music, prayer, and preaching that help connect faith to everyday life. Worship typically lasts about an hour.

Everyone is Welcome

Whether you’ve never been to church, haven’t been in years, or are a lifelong Presbyterian, we welcome you. There’s no pressure, just come and experience God’s love in a community that’s striving to grow together in faith, service, and compassion.

Save My Spot

We Have Something for Everyone!

Young Families

Raising kids and growing in faith can go hand-in-hand. We’re here to support your whole family on the journey. Worship is welcoming and joyful, and children are always invited to participate, wiggles and all! We offer nursery care, age-based programs, and a safe, nurturing environment where kids can learn, grow, and belong.

Newcomers to Gastonia

First Presbyterian Church is a community of people growing in faith, building friendships, and serving our neighbors. Whether you’re looking for a place to worship, connect, or volunteer, we’d love to help you feel at home, both in church and in the community.

Returning Churchgoers

If you’ve been away from church for a while, you’re not alone—and you are deeply welcome here. FPC is a place of grace, renewal, and belonging. Whether you’re returning with questions, curiosity, or a hunger for spiritual connection, we invite you to explore at your own pace. There’s no pressure and no expectations, just a caring community ready to walk with you.
