Matthew 25 Church Initiative:

At the September meeting of Session, we became a Matthew 25 Church, committing to congregational vitality, addressing issues of poverty and race.  Towards that end, the Mission Commission will be showing the following films for three successive Wednesday nights from 6:00 to 7:30 pm: on November 20—Dawo’s Dinner, on November 27—KSU Documentary on Refugees, and on December 4—Webinar on “Healing the Wounds of White Privilege.”  I hope you will be able to attend one or all these informative sessions.

Grace and Peace,

Pastor Brent

Save the Date! 

On March 15, 2020, First Presbyterian Church will celebrate its 150th anniversary.  Ever since its inception, First Presbyterian Church has grown with the city of Wichita.  We will celebrate the untold story with a documentary that will interview our archivist, Gary Huffman, former pastors, members, and city officials reminiscent of Ken Burns' documentaries.  Special music by our Choirs (Choral, Bell, Youth, and Children's) and liturgy giving thanks for our past and blessing for our future.  

So, mark your calendar and plan to come.  Invite a friend.  One service at 10:45 a.m. 

Below is the latest FPC Times about events that happened 150 years regarding the founding of First Presbyterian Church.

First Church invites all youngsters (age infant to 5.5 years old) and their parents to join in the fellowship and fun we have designed for you! 

Share in the delights of the season with the FPC Playgroup.  

For the Christmas festivity in December, the children will do a holiday light tour with hot chocolate and sweets. Then, they will enjoy the warmth and celebration of the coming of the Christ Child for Epiphany in January. Join us for a marvelous journey of fellowship and fun the next five weeks! Siblings are welcomed.
