Some things to know while worshipping in the sanctuary:
× We will socially distance.
× Masks are required.
× Entrance to the church will be from the fellowship hall. Once you enter the church, please get your bulletin and enter the sanctuary through the door that is closest to the fellowship hall.
× We will exit through the same door that we used to enter.
× To promote social distancing and cut down on any possible traffic jams at the Sanctuary door, people will be dismissed by section by either the guest minister or the liturgist.
× If you would feel more comfortable sitting in the fellowship hall during worship, there are speakers in the fellowship hall so you can hear the service.
× Please know that these guidelines have been created for the safety of everyone.
© CHILDREN Sunday School Class meets Sundays at 9:15 am. Miss Donna and Miss Jackie will offer a Bible story and activities from the new curriculum 'Growing in God's Love'.
First Presbyterian is an active church that helps individuals and families grow in the grace and love of Jesus Christ.
We offer a variety of programs for individuals and families and are large enough to offer an array of activities and ministries, but small enough to know each of our members personally. We would love for you to call our church "home."
This website only covers selected highlights so we encourage you to contact the church office at 304 727-2241, stop by, or email us at fpcsa@firstpresbychurch.com if you have questions or particular areas of interest. Our main message to you is...WELCOME!
A Note From Session Regarding COVID-19 Status Red
September 20, 2020 was set for the first opening of the sanctuary for in-person worship, but due to Kanawha County having a COVID status of red the previous week, Session chose to cancel Worship and Sunday School. In order to make future decisions to have in-person worship and Sunday School when in Code Red, Session called a meeting to clarify the procedure. Here are the approved guidelines:
“If the county code is red, we do not hold any in-person worship in the sanctuary or fellowship hall, we will have on-line worship only. If orange or below, worship will be held in-person in the sanctuary with necessary precautions such as wearing masks, social distancing, and south side being open for congregants.”
We will follow state and local rules, regulations, and guidelines as the minimum standards for reopening. Following these guidelines will help us if someone gets sick or otherwise harmed when we reopen. It will also instill confidence in the church family that their leaders are complying with the law. If someone would test positive, we will follow CDC guidelines and close the building and quarantine for 14 days. If COVID numbers spike, we will adjust accordingly.
A Place for Everyone
An Adult Sunday school class will meet during Wednesday Night Live in the church parlor at 6:30pm beginning September 23. We are participating in Mary Ellen’s Bible study of Adam Hamilton’s book Unafraid: Living With Courage and Hope In Uncertain Times If you wish to participate through Zoom, be sure to contact Mary Ellen at marylogsdon@hotmail.com for the link to the meeting. Or wear your mask and join us in the parlor. We will follow CDC guidelines for social distancing.
Sunday School for Children
Children may come to Sunday school at 9:15 on Sunday mornings to meet with Miss Donna and Miss Jackie for a Bible story and activities from the new curriculum Growing In God’s Love.
Another Adult Study
The Wired Word is an online* adult Sunday school curriculum with weekly lessons that confront the news with scripture and hope. It is available weekly to our congregation through subscription. If you would like to receive it via email, contact the office.

Children and Youth are going to use a blended format as well, with a remote class in the Fellowship Hall, or on Zoom.
