First Presbyterian Church - Church on the Edge

About this church

First Presbyterian Church, also known as Church on the Edge, worships at 5555 South Washington Street in Grand Forks, on the south edge of town just off Washington. Sunday mornings offer two services: a contemporary service at 9 a.m. and a traditional service later in the morning. Most pages of the site list the traditional service at 10:30 a.m., while one page says 11 a.m., so confirm the time with the church before visiting. There is no dress code, and jeans and a T-shirt are as common as a suit and tie. Coffee, treats, and fellowship are offered before and after worship, and sermons can be watched online. The congregation describes a history of more than 150 years.

Children and youth have programs organized by age. A fully staffed nursery is open during both the Sunday school hour and worship. Preschool and kindergarten children use the Orange Room for a mix of teaching and worship, while first through fifth graders meet in the Green Room for a hands-on Bible curriculum. Middle and high school students gather in the Black and White Room for a series built around games, videos, and lessons. The church also lists Vacation Bible School, a summer movie series, and local and global ministries that serve people in need. A weekly email and a monthly newsletter keep attendees informed, and the office can be reached at 701-775-5545.
