First Central Presbyterian Church

About this church

First Central Presbyterian Church in downtown Abilene holds two in-person worship services each Sunday, one at 8:30 a.m. and one at 11:00 a.m. The two services follow the same format, so visitors can pick whichever time fits their morning. The 8:30 service is in-person only, while the 11:00 service is also livestreamed on the church's YouTube channel starting around 10:45 a.m., with a recording posted afterward. The sanctuary is on the first floor, and the worship facilities are wheelchair accessible. The church describes itself as the oldest congregation in Abilene, organized in 1881.

Childcare for infants and toddlers is offered during worship, and Sunday School at 9:45 a.m. covers 3- and 4-year-olds and kindergarten through fifth grade. Kindergarten and first grade children can join a children's church program during the 11:00 service. Youth in grades 6 through 12 meet for church school at 9:45 a.m. and again Sunday evenings from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. for singing, games, dinner and study. Adult classes, Presbyterian Women, a choir, and a Wednesday night program round out congregational life. Outreach includes a weekly Presbyterian Food Pantry on Tuesday afternoons, Breakfast on Beech Street with other downtown churches, and Stephen Ministry. The building sits on the block bounded by North 5th, North 4th, Beech and Orange; a parking map is on the website. Confirm times with the church office at 325-677-3501.
