We are so glad you are considering visiting our church in beautiful downtown Greenville. Attending a church for the first time can be intimidating, and we want you to feel welcomed from the moment you walk in, even if you’ve never been to church before or it’s been a while since you attended. All who want to learn more about Christ or who want to share their love for Jesus with others are welcome at First Presbyterian.
