First Presbyterian Church  --   Presbyterian Church (USA)

The First Presbyterian Church of Elizabethton is “A Progressive Christian Community”. 
Here is our Statement of Welcome:

First Presbyterian invites you to become a part of our fellowship as we worship God and serve others in the spirit of Jesus Christ. With a commitment to achieving a just and peaceful world community, our congregation welcomes those of every age, gender, sexual orientation, race and ethnic identity.

Here is our Mission Statement:
With joyful hearts and open minds, we welcome all persons as
diverse, unique, and individual expressions of the image of God
as we…

Affirm the unconditional love of God for all people as expressed
in the life of Jesus Christ.

Celebrate God’s grace and creative work through ritual,
sacrament, music, art, movement, and play.

Honor our Christian heritage while we explore the knowledge
and wisdom of multiple religions, science, philosophy, humanities and psychology to deepen and enrich our spiritual journeys.

Nurture one another through fellowship and compassion in a
community that seeks to offer wholeness.

Embody our faith through local ministries and in actions that
promote environmental sustainability, peace, and justice for all
people and Earth.

In awe and gratitude for the Divine Mystery that dwells within
each of us and pervades our Universe, we seek to create a
Christian community that honors our past, is vitally connected
to our present, and looks with hope and vision to the
generations after us.
