First Presbyterian Church

About this church

First Presbyterian Church of Chattanooga worships at 9:00 and 11:15 a.m. Sundays. The early service is contemporary, while the later service is traditional; both combine congregational singing, prayer, Scripture, sacraments, and gospel-centered preaching within the church's Presbyterian Church in America identity. The congregation describes spiritual development, relational connection, and missional engagement as three dimensions of mature Christian life.

Sunday School, small groups, college ministry, children's and youth programs, music, care, and local and world missions create ways to participate beyond the sanctuary. The music ministry includes adult sanctuary choir, instrumentalists, ensembles, and varied worship arts, with different styles serving the two morning gatherings. Newcomers exploring Christianity are explicitly welcomed alongside longtime believers, and a plan-your-visit page explains what each service offers. Visitors can choose 9:00 for contemporary music or 11:15 for a more traditional setting, then use the Sunday School and ministry listings to find an age- or interest-based group.
