Welcome to the First Presbyterian Church of Ann Arbor!
Making God's Love Visible
We Love with Open Hearts.
We Learn with Open Minds.
We Serve with Open Arms.
First Pres strives to be as diverse as God’s kingdom, and as wide and hospitable as the Spirit’s embrace. Here, we don’t all look, act, or pray alike. God knows we do not all think alike. We Presbyterians do not read the Bible the same way. Our questions are different, our burdens are diverse, and our aspirations are distinct. But every Sunday, we worship as one, unified by the love and grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. We worship a living God who calls us to love and support one another. Together we can do marvelous things – and grow closer to God and one another along the way. Come visit us - everyone is welcome! If you are new to us we invite you to visit and explore our many programs and service opportunities.
Want to know more? If you are visiting us for the first time you may be wondering about many details - what a service is like, where do I park, what should I wear, directions, etc., you can find out more here on our "Visit Us" page.
