First Presbyterian Church

About this church

First Presbyterian Church of Bloomsburg worships at 10:30 a.m. Sunday on Market Street, celebrating Holy Communion on the first Sunday of each month. Its own visitor page describes a gathering of about 40 people, including working and retired professionals, with an intentional welcome for college students. Dress ranges from suits to jeans, and the congregation emphasizes that Scripture can address a community together while speaking differently to each person. FPC shares a pastor with The Table, an ELCA faith community, through an ecumenical ministry relationship. Sermon recordings and streamed services provide a useful preview of its current preaching and worship.

Organized in 1817 by Scots-Irish Presbyterians, the congregation moved from an early log sanctuary to its present Hummelstown brownstone church, dedicated in 1891 and later expanded for education and offices. Today it belongs to the PC(USA), identifies with More Light Presbyterians, and holds Earth Care Congregation certification. Its welcome explicitly includes people across gender, race, nationality, sexual orientation, gender identity, ability, immigration, economic and health status, religious background, and no faith. Mission language centers on justice, kindness, humility, neighborliness, and peace, joining the historic sanctuary to contemporary commitments to LGBTQ+ participation, environmental care, and community service.
