About First Presbyterian Church of Mesa
First Presbyterian Church is a congregation of the Presbyterian Church (USA). First established in 1947, FPC Mesa has maintained an important ministry to the community and beyond.
The church provides many of the things usually associated with a downtown congregation: strong, biblical preaching; a high commitment to music and the arts; and a passion for those in need.
Our Values
Worship
We value worship, hearing the Word, enjoying and praising God through music, celebrating what we believe, sharing our walk with Jesus and striving to be a place where all people can belong.
Fellowship
Members of all ages love being together with each other and with our neighbors. Whether worshiping together, praising and celebrating through music, breaking bread, or working together in mission, we strive to be welcoming to all, valuing everyone.
Outreach/Evangelism
We celebrate what we believe by putting our faith into action through activities that care for our neighbors (near and far) while manifesting the gospel. Through these activities we invite them to come into a closer relationship with Christ, ourselves and each other. Current activity examples are the Food Pantry/Clothing Closet, MPM, community dinners and neighborhood festivals.
Discipleship
We nurture and grow our relationship with Christ in many ways. Those include Bible Study, Bible-centered worship, teaching our youth, sharing with others our faith walk with Jesus, and caring for each other and our neighbors.
