First Presbyterian Church

About this church

First Presbyterian Church in Nashville has gathered since 1814 and worships on Sundays at 8:30 and 11:00 a.m. in the sanctuary at 4815 Franklin Pike. The services are traditional and liturgical, with Scripture reading, preaching, congregational singing, prayers of confession and assurance, and the sacraments of baptism and communion. The church describes its preaching as rooted in the Reformed tradition, and choirs for children and adults lead the music. The 8:30 service is livestreamed. Sunday School begins at 9:45 a.m., and coffee and doughnuts are served between services in Courtenay Hall below the sanctuary.

Nursery care is open on Sunday mornings for ages zero to three, and Young Children and Worship is offered for pre-kindergarten and kindergarten at both services. Children's Sunday School covers pre-K through sixth grade, and families check in at the Children's Ministry wing. Youth in grades 7 through 12 have Sunday School and a Wednesday night program with food, worship, and small groups, plus retreats during the year. Adults can join classes, Presbyterian Women, a ministry for mature adults called First Friends, recreation, and missions. The church also supports Oak Hill School. Parking is extensive, and visitors can wear whatever is comfortable. Confirm current times on the website.
