Welcome to the website of The First Presbyterian Church of Charleston, WV.
It is our hope that through these pages, you will be welcomed and drawn into the life and vitality of our church’s life, mission and ministry.
Here at First Church we celebrate the fact that we have been engaged in ministry and service to and with the city of Charleston since 1819. Spiritually "standing on the shoulders of those who have laid that solid foundation,” we are convinced that our most exciting and fulfilling times are ahead of us.
I hope these pages will address any questions you have about our shared ministry, the future, and the possibilities of your role in it. Hopefully it will raise some new questions as well. Come and join us as we seek to hear and respond to Christ’s call and discover the role He has for each of us in His work today.
