Welcome to First Presbyterian Church in New Orleans!
We are a church with a rich history. Feel free to browse our website and discover more about us. First Presbyterian is an open and affirming congregation that welcomes and encourages all to join us in worship. We are affiliated with the PC(USA).
We are a More Light Congregation and a member of the Covenant Network of Presbyterians. We welcome all people, all races, and all sexual orientations.
At First Presbyterian we are up to our ears with weddings, anniversaries, and bridal shows. It's wedding season and we can't be happier for our couples, friends, and families. We can accommodate all kinds of weddings, from NFL players and society types to hipsters and flower children. Our sanctuary has a truly magical vibe and can be grand and intimate at the same time. We welcome all couples.
Join us in celebrating the release of the book Henry Howard: Louisiana's Architect, on Tuesday evening at the Historical New Orleans Collection. The First Presbyterian Church building located at Lafayette Square was designed by Mr. Howard in 1855 and destroyed in 1938.
Have you ever noticed the OTHER church on the other corner of S. Claiborne Ave and Jefferson Ave? We have a very interesting shared history! Both congregations can trace our roots to the same man, Rev. Dr. Theodore Clapp in the early 1800s. Both churches occupied different locations and have ended up katty corner from each other in Broadmoor. Fast forward to 2015: hosting a joint crawfish boil to raise money for UNITY of Greater New Orleans.
Our first annual Rummage Fest is tomorrow! Saturday, May 9th from 8am-2pm. Admission is free. The event will be held in the Fellowship Hall on the second floor. Enter though the S. Claiborne Avenue or S. Prieur Street entrances.

Thank you to everyone who supported us yesterday on #GiveNOLADay! Because of our members, longtime friends and some new supporters, First Presbyterian received 13 gifts totaling $1,000!
Your support is a blessing and we will use it wisely. We would like to invite you to worship on Sunday mornings at 11am. The atmosphere is somewhat traditional, and also casual and welcoming!

Help First Presbyterian finish our kitchen renovation!
We have set up a Go Fund Me campaign to finish our kitchen renovation project. As they say, "The kitchen is the heart of the home," and at First Presbyterian we already have a lot of heart. What we don't have is a proper commercial kitchen.
Join us for a free concert Wednesday night, April 8 at 7pm by 'Creative Impressions', a dynamic performance arts organization of thirty teenagers from Augusta, GA. They will be helping us celebrate the 7th anniversary of the Program of Hope, our cooperative Presbyterian outreach to end homelessness in New Orleans. Reception Following!
