First Presbyterian Church

About this church

First Presbyterian Church gathers at 9:00 a.m. Sunday on North Delaware Avenue in York, Nebraska. That is a new schedule effective January 4, 2026, so the current hour is especially important for returning visitors who may remember an older time. Holy Communion is celebrated on the first Sunday of each month. Music has a strong congregational presence: the Chancel Choir sings weekly outside its summer break, and the Alleluia Ringers handbell choir usually contributes once a month or at special services. Previous sermons are available through the church's YouTube page, giving a prospective guest a first-party preview before attending in person.

The congregation belongs to the Presbyterian Church (USA), Homestead Presbytery, and the Reformed tradition. It describes its purpose in terms of preaching God's Word and sharing love, grace, and mercy through fellowship and mission, while providing a gathering place for learning and worship. The York church began when eight pioneers met beside Beaver Creek in July 1871; the present Delaware Avenue building was dedicated in December 1967. A historic bell and stained-glass image from earlier locations remain part of the worship space. Ongoing connections include Presbyterian Women's Bible study and book club, youth formation, community mission, and a closed Alcoholics Anonymous meeting listed on the church calendar.
