First Presbyterian Church of Elmira

About this church

First Presbyterian Church of Elmira holds worship on Sundays at 10:30 a.m. at 1054 West Clinton Street in West Elmira. The congregation belongs to the Presbyterian Church (USA) and the Geneva Presbytery. Its first church was built in downtown Elmira in 1795 and moved to its present location in 1966. Worship uses music, art, and flowers, and the site lists a choir that rehearses Sunday mornings at 9:30 before the service.

Children and youth have several options. Sunday School for kindergarten through sixth grade meets in person during worship, and a nursery for ages zero to four runs on Sunday mornings. Sixth graders and older gather in person and online for Bible study on Sundays from 9:30 to 10:15 a.m. Annual events include an Easter egg event, Vacation Bible School, and a Christmas pageant, and older youth join activities with other local churches. Adults can find GriefShare, a Circle of Women group that meets by Zoom, a knitting and crocheting group called Sacred Stitches on Tuesday afternoons, Wednesday morning neighborhood walks that start at the church parking lot, and Bible study. Choir rehearses on Thursday evenings. The church office is open Monday through Thursday, and the church posts events on Facebook. Call (607) 734-1614 to confirm details.
