Our Church
First Presbyterian Church is for
people like you, a congregation from all walks of life. Young,
old, and
those in-between are a part of this community of believers. We strive
for a deeper relationship with our Lord and with one another through worship,
fellowship, education and service. Opportunities abound for you to
become involved in the life of this congregation. On September 2, 2001, the first
services were held in the new church building. The 30,000-square-foot
facility had been planned for five years. A ground-breaking
ceremony was held on Father's Day in June, 2000. Stained glass windows,
dating back to 1939, were removed from the previous site on San Jacinto
Street, Conroe, and installed in the present structure, incorporating the
old with the new. Entry to the First Presbyterian Day School, founded in 1972,
is west of the church entrance.
Our Church Family
Upon entering the church, you will
find a
congregation,
totaling about 800, ready to welcome you into the
family. The church
is large enough to have a wide range of activities,
yet small enough to know one
another by first name. Worship is a focal
point of the week as we gather together for praise at the two Sunday morning
services. Our highly talented choirs provide uplifting music. A well-staffed
nursery is provided during the services and for church school. Pictured
are members of our Chancel Choir.
Our Opportunities
At
First Presbyterian Church each person is special. We recognize that each
individual is special. We strive to offer opportunities
that allow the person to have their needs and wants met. You have God-given
talents that can be put to good use in our congregation. We want to encourage
you in your endeavors, pray with you in your struggles and rejoice with
you in your accomplishments. We care. If you are not a member of our congregation
we wish you would consider becoming a part of our church family. In photo,

Our Activities
The church stresses opportunities
for learning through church school for all ages, Bible study and
other
special events. Activities are also planned for groups. Groups include
Presbyterian Women, Men's Night Out, Wise Guys (men's lunch group), Minivan
Sisterhood, Supper Clubs, Small Groups, ALPHA and Youth Fellowships, Cancer
Resource Team, Stephen Ministry, Stretching Body & Soul (exercise &
meditation),
to name a few. The church is also mission oriented as it reaches out to
the world beyond. You'll find our members participating in elementary school
tutoring, Habitat for
Humanity, Montgomery County Interfaith Hospitality Network, Salvation Army Soup Kitchen,
Meals on Wheels and many other programs. Featured photo was taken on
