Rooted in Faith.

Growing in Love.

Serving with Purpose.

 

Since 1858, First Presbyterian Church of Grove City has stood as a spiritual home in the heart of the community. From its earliest gatherings in a growing frontier town to the vibrant congregation we are today, our church has been a place of worship, connection, and service for over 160 years.

​

Our Legacy

 

Founded in Grove City in 1858, our congregation has seen generations come and go—but our commitment remains the same: to be a Christ-centered presence in the community. Through seasons of change, we have been a constant witness to God’s love, grace, and justice.

We are proud of our deep roots and the faithfulness of those who came before us—and we carry that legacy forward by continuing to serve, welcome, and worship in the name of Christ. Read more about our history here.

Our Calling

 

We are a church family committed to living out Christ’s example of radical love and inclusion. While we don’t all look, think, or vote the same way, we are united by our desire to follow Jesus by:

• Feeding the hungry

• Caring for the hurting

• Pursuing justice in our community and beyond

Here, diversity is not just accepted—it’s celebrated. You are not just invited in—you are embraced as family.

​

A Community Anchor

 

Our church is more than just a Sunday gathering. We open our doors throughout the week to host groups like:

• Boy Scouts & Girl Scouts

• 4-H & local youth clubs

• Alzheimer’s caregiver support

• Health and wellness initiatives

• And many other community partners

We believe the church should be a beacon of welcome and compassion, meeting real needs and building real relationships.

​

What We Believe

 

We are guided by the truth that everyone is made in the image of God, and we are called to love others as God loves us—freely, fully, and without condition.

Our church is a place where:

• All are welcome

• All are valued

• All are invited to grow in faith and service

Whether you’ve been part of a church for decades or are just beginning to explore spiritual questions, there is a place for you here.

Our Mission

 

To know Christ and to make Him known.
It’s that simple—and that transformative.
