Who are we?
Welcome to the website of First Presbyterian Church of Jackson, Tennessee.
Chances are, if you’re reading these words, you have recognized at least some of the value of your faith. We want to help you recognize even more of that value. Why? Because a strong connection to Christ, and to others within the body of Christ, can be life-changing. Our mission statement states that First Presbyterian Church seeks to provide opportunities for people to encounter the life changing presence of Christ through preaching, the study of scripture, engagement in worship, faithful stewardship, and service to others in the church and community.
We hope you will come to see us. Feel the warmth of the people in this place. Dine with us, worship with us, serve with us, learn with us, and experience the life changing presence of Jesus Christ.
Did you know?
First Presbyterian Church of Jackson, Tennessee, was founded in 1823, making it not only the oldest congregation in the city but also the oldest active church in the Memphis Presbytery. Its early establishment played a critical role in shaping the civic, spiritual, and educational culture of Jackson during its formative years as a frontier settlement. The church predates the organization of any other local religious institutions and stands today as a testament to enduring faith and commitment across generations.
Message from the Pastors
From Our Members
We fell in love with First Presbyterian the first Sunday we visited. Each Sunday thereafter our feeling of belonging increased because of the warm welcoming arms of the congregation; the sermons that speak directly to how we’re feeling about the state of our world and our place in it; the leaders we have seen step up in the church of all ages, genders, and cultures; the beautiful bells we can hear from our house; and the church’s historical connection to my family (y’all know how sentimental I am). This past Sunday we made it official by joining this church that already felt like home and joyfully watched as Wilder professed his faith and was baptized. What a very special day it was for our family and we look forward to growing in our beloved church for many years to come.
