First Presbyterian Church

About this church

First Presbyterian Church of Denton begins Sundays with a lay-led discussion class at 9:30 a.m. Traditional worship follows at 11:00, in person and online, and lasts about an hour. The service includes confession, hymns accompanied by organ and piano, Scripture, preaching, a profession of faith, and prayer. Dress is flexible. Communion is served on the first Sunday of each month using gluten-free bread, nonalcoholic individual cups, and servers who bring the elements to the pews; all who accept Christ are invited.

Children are welcome in the sanctuary, where coloring materials are available, and an unstaffed nursery has a changing table, cribs, and toys. Founded in 1878, the congregation has maintained worship in Denton for nearly 150 years and began livestreaming during the pandemic. A Little Free Food Pantry opened on the church property in 2021 to address local hunger. The prayer chain, active since 1977, accepts public or confidential requests. Together, these details describe a historically rooted Presbyterian church with transparent liturgy, practical Communion accommodations, online access, and modest but persistent neighborhood care.
