Welcome to the
Presbyterian Church of Emporia!
We are a vibrant congregation with people of all ages. We have many
children in our congregation and our programs for children are always
expanding. In January of 2007, Westminster United Presbyterian Church
and First Presbyterian were merged into one congregation. We have two
beautiful campuses for activities and worship.
Our downtown campus is located at 8th & Commercial, just four
blocks south of the Emporia State campus. Our west campus is located at
1702 West 15th Ave.
We have regular gatherings for families with younger children and many
other programs that take place throughout the year.
Come and experience what we have to offer! It's an amazing community of
believers here at First Presbyterian. I know you'll find a church home
with us!
Blessings!
Pastor Mike

Vision
Statement
To live and share the message of God's love, our church joyfully
responds to the Holy Spirit by learning together, nurturing
relationships, and reaching out to others through Christ's love.
First
Presbyterian Church has been
serving Christ in Emporia for 140 years. Westminster United
Presbyterian has been serving
Emporia for over 100 years. Together, our merged congregation brings a
history of service to the community, commitment to Christ and
involvement in ministries that serve the people of Emporia.
Our downtown campus building is a landmark in downtown Emporia.
It is a white limestone building, designed by Emporia architect Charles
Squires and dedicated May 16, 1897. It is located at Eighth Avenue and
Commercial, four blocks south of the main entrance to the Campus of
Emporia State University.
Our west campus building is also a beautiful church set in a
residential area of Emporia. It was designed by Trevor Lewis, who is a
long-time member of the church and a prominent Emporia architect.
