First Presbyterian Church

About this church

First Presbyterian Church of Cottage Grove worships at 10:00 a.m. Sundays in its sanctuary at 216 South Third Street. Services make space for Scripture, questions, prayer, and music from the chancel choir, soloists, small ensembles, pipe organ, grand piano, and handbells. The historic ground-level building is accessible and its sanctuary and Friendship Hall support T-coil hearing systems.

The congregation describes itself as an open-minded, forward-looking community in the Reformed tradition with a 150-year commitment to local social needs. Preaching connects Scripture with current events, while creation care, community partnerships, and concern for vulnerable neighbors shape its public life. The architecturally significant 1951 building, designed by Pietro Belluschi, also hosts community and musical events and is listed on the Oregon Historical Registry. Nursery supervision is part of the church's staff structure. New visitors can arrive shortly before 10:00, ask about children's care, and stay for community conversation after a worship service that welcomes both participation and honest questions.
