Faithfully serving the people of Huntsville, AL since 1818.

What makes First Presbyterian stand out?

Rooted in Scripture:

Scripture is at the heart of who we are as Presbyterians and people of faith. We believe the Bible is God's holy word to us all. We take its teachings seriously and seek to learn and grow in our faith together.

United in Christ:

Our church is filled with a diversity of people. We are people of different ages, socio-economic classes, and races. No matter our differences, we are always united in knowing that Jesus Christ is Lord.

Reaching Out in Faith:

Our faith compels us to serve others and live out Jesus' teachings of love and care for all. Mission is an essential part of who we are, and we seek to be engaged locally and around the world.
