Empowering Disciples

The best way to grow as a disciple is to learn and serve. We empower people to serve God more fully by offering opportunities for both.

LEARNING
You can deepen your understanding and belief in God through one of our many studies on Sunday morning, Wednesday evening, at Presbyterian Women circles, or online.

SERVING
Here are just a few of the many ways you can make a difference in our community and beyond via the ministries of First Presbyterian Church

Texarkana Downtown Community Garden
The garden is a collaborative effort with the downtown churches to eliminate hunger and malnourishment in our community by providing fresh produce to needy people. No experience in gardening is necessary. To find out the last news about the garden visit our Texarkana Community Garden Facebook page

The Sharing Place
If you would like hands on experience with serving the needy in our community come any Thursday morning from 10-11:30 a.m. to help distribute clothing via our clothes closet. Volunteers also gather prior to those hours to process clothes contributed.

Angel Quilts
Come trace, cut, sew, and quilt along side volunteers to make beautiful quilts as a tangible expression of Christ’s love for people struggling with cancer. Thursday morning 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. in the Annex at FPC. Interested? Call Martha Nell Richards at 903-838-7106 or click here.

Youth Ministry
Helping at meetings, providing a meal, staying for a lock-in, or attending a retreat or other outing are just some of the many fun ways you can serve and grow by making a difference in the life of a young person. For more information click here.

Godly Play for Children and Evergreen
If you can tell a story and ask questions about it, you have everything it takes to experience one of the most meaningful ministries at FPC. Godly Play is unique method of Christian education that almost anyone do. If you can tell a story, you are a storyteller, and you can be a Godly Play Storyteller. So, if you have always wanted to teach, but you were afraid to because you “didn’t have all of the answers”, check out Godly Play.
