First Presbyterian Church

When to go

About

• Zackary Gann★★★★★2 years ago

  Going to a different church every Sunday across this state and First Presbyterian has a special weight to it. Evening service, I was early and not confident to enter such a palace, but was greeted. A beautiful interior. I sat upstairs in the cozy pews. Front row to a wonderful view of the chimes, the choir, the sermon, and the church goers below. It was quiet. A place I’ve often tied to stress and being unassimilated, for once, I felt at rest. The choir was wonderful, allowing a reminisce of my life through my mind. The sermon was certainly long, but well spoken. Rather than the usual 1-4 verses covered, it felt like the entire book and scene was covered and then related.

  Wonderful and beautiful Christmas Eve service. The pastor gave a strong powerful message. Im Baptist but came to the service because my brother and his family goes here. Thank you for truly preaching the word of God with love and conviction.

  First Presbyterian Church, Columbia, SC (ARP), founded in 1795, is a historic, Bible-believing congregation, that gathers to worship Lord’s Day morning and evening in this beautiful building.

  Beautiful and biblical sound church. I enjoy the history of the church, loving church body, and strong leadership.

  Giving funds to Cooperative Ministries is not meeting the needs of the underprivileged, homeless. It's like just donating funds to an organization because they state they take up donations, vehicles or anything else of a high value. USC privileged students needs are met underprivledged non students needs aren't. It is set up to keep middle class further ahead while the underprivileged are left behind, overlooked, forgotten, given grudgingly with a ruthless attitude. Not all are welcome, because if a homeless person go to pull the door handles they may have just been met by somebody that'll rather talk to them very briefly to dismiss them. The Lord is not pleased with how churches such as First Presbyterian, The First Baptist or any other church for that matter is operating despite of the churches giving funds. Doing God's work shouldn't start and end there.

  Great, welcoming Christian church, which preaches straight from the Bible. This church is for those who are interested in hearing God's word, who love Bible based worship in Word and song, and who are not willing to compromise truth for an experience. There are plenty of discipleship opportunities for youth, students, busy homes, and seniors. Very missions oriented. A great place to worship God and our Savior Jesus Christ.

  A warm and vibrant church full of divine life. God is preached faithfully by all the ministers. It’s a true joy to worship God at this church. No matter where you are at, whether your life is grand or facing deep struggles, come and join us. All our welcome for we are all beggars coming to Christ to receive salvation, forgiveness and life.

  So happy to call this church home. For the one reviewer who had a bad experience here, please visit again. The more I got involved and spoke with people, the more people I met and now even the people I don't know are just family I've not met yet. This is a very welcoming church. Small groups and Sunday School are great ways to meet people.

  This church is exceptionally beautiful. The service for a friend was held there, as he was a member for over 20 years. This church and it's staff did an outstanding job in helping the family members through their grief while they highlighted the life of my friend. Thank you - well done!
