About First Presbyterian Church

First Presbyterian Church is a dynamic church located in Battle Creek, IA. Our beliefs are based on the Bible and centered on Jesus Christ. Our mission is very simple: to lead people to honor and glorify Jesus Christ. That means we’re not about a building or some complicated religious system, but about helping people from all backgrounds discover the joy that comes from knowing and serving Jesus Christ.

We invite you to come and check us out this weekend at one of our worship services. We know that going to a new church can be intimidating, so we try to do things in a way where you’ll feel welcome and not like an outsider. When you come, you can participate or just sit back and observe. You’ll discover a warm atmosphere, practical teaching from God's Word and lots of friendly people pursuing God together. God made a promise in the Bible that if we seek after Him, we’ll find Him. You are a valued part of God’s creation and His deep desire is to be in a relationship with you. So come and join us as we pursue God together!

Family

At First Presbyterian Church we value the family and we believe church should be a place for people of all ages. Every Sunday we provide children's Sunday School following our regular worship service, which provides an age-appropriate environment for kids to encounter Christ.

Leadership

First Presbyterian Church is guided by a leadership team who provides overall direction and watches over the spiritual needs of the church.
