Join us for worship at 10:00 am each Sunday.
God calls us to worship, not only at church, but especially at church. Join us as we come together in unity and praise. We strive to be a vibrant and vital witness in our community and endeavor to send worshipers home with a smile of hope and new energy to serve Christ and do God’s work in the world.
What to Expect in our Worship Services
Sit anywhere you like and participate as much or as little as you feel comfortable with. We sing hymns from a variety of styles and origins, ranging from old familiar tunes to recent compositions. Our music is lead by our Chancel Choir and accompanied by our beautiful grand piano and Reuter/Rogers pipe organ. Though we often stand for hymns and responses, we do not use kneeling benches.
Our facility is barrier-free, with wheelchair seating in the front and back of the sanctuary. We use a projection screen but also have regular and large print bulletins, hymnals and Bibles (New Revised Standard Version) for all to use. We have devices to help the hearing impaired — just ask an usher as you enter our sanctuary.
Throughout the year, particularly during Advent, Christmas, Lent and Easter, there are special or multiple services. You’ll find these listed on our Calendar page.
Children in Worship
We believe that children belong in worship, because faith is “caught” not “taught.” What better way for children to know what faith is all about than to be a full part of a faith community.
Children give adults the gifts of trust, awe, and new viewpoints. Adults share wisdom, experience and acceptance.
If you feel that your young child is not ready to be in the sanctuary, we have a nursery where professional staff care for infants and toddlers. In addition, worship bags are available in the back of the sanctuary.
Communion
All baptized Christians, regardless of denomination, are welcome at the Lord’s Table. Communion is celebrated on the first Sunday on each month and elements (gluten-free bread and juice) are normally distributed in the pews. On the few occasions when communion is served at the front of the sanctuary, those unable to come forward are served in their seats.
What not to wear
There’s not a “what not to wear” at First Presbyterian; the gathering of believers is much more important to us than how those believers dress. Most adults wear anything from business casual to Sunday best. Anything your child or youth would wear to school will work here.
We also have resources to help you understand First Presbyterian Church of Farmington’s policies and practices are for Baptisms, Funerals and Weddings.
