First Presbyterian Church

About this church

First Presbyterian Church of Parkersburg worships at 1341 Juliana Street with two distinctly different Sunday services. Morning Prayer at 8:30 a.m. meets in the chapel, using a smaller, more intimate and less formal setting with praise singing. The 10:30 Service for the Lord's Day fills the sanctuary with choir, organ-accompanied hymns, full liturgy, and a more structured atmosphere; it is also streamed on Facebook. That choice lets worshipers select an early, relaxed gathering or the congregation's principal traditional Presbyterian service without guessing whether the styles differ.

The PC(USA) congregation describes itself as a nurturing, vibrant home where people worship, study, fellowship, and serve as fellow pilgrims. Music extends beyond Sunday through the Sanctuary Choir and Juliana Ringers handbells, continuing a long arts tradition that also reaches the wider community. Children encounter faith through Sunday school and Vacation Bible School, while youth take part in faith discovery and mission trips locally and across the continent. Members visit homebound people, host community groups, join committees, and support worldwide mission. Presbyterian Women adds prayer, Bible study, service, and an intentionally inclusive, multiracial community of women. Recorded services and weekly bulletins help newcomers compare the two worship settings before attending.
