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.
This weekend only! Worship time will be on SATURDAY, MARCH 8, 2025 at 4:00 p.m. Why? Because the bad weather on Mardi Gras afternoon necessitated that the truck float parades that line up in front of the church on South Claiborne Avenue had to change their date to Sunday, March 9 at 11:00 a.m., which would make it exceedingly difficult to get to church. So we're taking a page from the playbook of our Catholic friends, who seem to enjoy their Saturday afternoon Mass, and have a Saturday afternoon service!
This coming Sunday, known in the rest of the world as Transfiguration Sunday, is the Sunday before Mardi Gras in New Orleans, when parades rule the day! We will adjust our worship service on that day so folks can come to church before the parades start. We'll meet at 9:30 for a light breakfast, followed by a prayer service at 10:00, and be done by 10:30. No reservations necessary for the meal -- all are welcome! Have a happy and safe Mardi Gras!
And P.S. our monthly communion service in March will be on the second Sunday of the month, March 9. Because, Mardi Gras Sunday.
Join us on Tuesday, December 24 at 6:00 p.m. for our traditional Christmas Candlelight Service. We'll have a reading of the Christmas story from Luke's gospel in the King James Version, and we'll sing "Silent Night" as we light our candles.
Join us during Advent as we move through this special season of the church year!
Sunday, October 27, 2024 is our third annual Wear Your Halloween Costume or Saints Shirt (if you dare!) to Church Sunday! Come in costume or Saints gear, or not! We'll take a group photo and have Halloween snacks after worship. Elder Bruce Mather will be preaching, but Pastor Kathy and Richard will be there in costume!
This is the 23rd year of our annual pumpkin patch fundraiser at First Presbyterian Church! All proceeeds benefit the Program of Hope, our homeless outreach program.

Thanks for your patience! Our church phone is up and running again after a tussle with some lightning storms.
Possibly due to a lightning strike, the church's phones at 504-866-7409 are not working. We will have to purchase new phones. Until we get them set up, you may get an electronic voice mail answering the phone if you call. Please don't leave a message, as we have no way of retrieving it! Please send an email to the church at info@fpcno.org. We'll post a notice when the phones are up again.
The youth of First Presbyterian Church led the worship service on Pentecost, Sunday, May 19, 2024. They created the worship liturgy themselves. Catch it on our Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/fpcno/
The video will be available for the next 30 days, until June 18, 2024.
We're having a post-JazzFest FUNdraising Crawfish Boil on Saturday, May 11 from 1 to 4 p.m. in the side yard of the church. $20 per plate donation suggested.
Yes, there will be hamburgers for those who don't do crawfish.
Come join the fun!
