First Presbyterian Church

About this church

First Presbyterian Church of Hammond is a Christian community that connects contemplation with action and values justice, mercy, civil discourse, creation care, spiritual inquiry, science, art, beauty, reverence, and wonder. Its history joins Congregationalist and Presbyterian roots in Hammond, while current ministry includes worship, music, children, youth, study, mission partnerships, and care for local neighbors.

Sunday worship begins at 10:30 a.m. in the sanctuary and is livestreamed, with recordings available shortly afterward on Facebook and YouTube. The music ministry treats the congregation as the church’s largest choir, supported by piano, organ, and a Chancel Choir whose repertoire ranges from Bach and other classical works to contemporary anthems, praise songs, and spirituals. Advent and Easter often include more extensive music. Mission partnerships include a lunch ministry with First Methodist Church for Southeastern Louisiana University students and support for Restoration House, which assists mothers and babies in the Hammond area. Children’s, youth, and weekly study pages should be consulted for current dates because the accessible homepage does not publish one stable education hour alongside worship. Visitors can preview the service through the video archive and should check current announcements before holidays, when music and worship arrangements may differ from an ordinary Sunday.
