Welcome

Welcome to First Presbyterian Church of Marion.

We are a congregation of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) seeking to follow Jesus Christ through worship, learning, service, and community. Whether you have been part of a church your whole life, are returning after time away, or are simply curious about faith, you are welcome here.

At First Presbyterian, we believe God's love is wider than we often imagine and that every person is created in the image of God. We strive to be a church where questions are welcome, faith is explored thoughtfully, and people are encouraged to grow in love of God and neighbor.

As a More Light congregation, we affirm and celebrate LGBTQIA+ people in the full life and ministry of the church. We welcome people of every age, race, background, ability, family structure, gender identity, and sexual orientation. To learn more about More Light Presbyterians, visit mlp.org

Founded in 1907, First Presbyterian Church has been part of the Marion community for more than a century. While our history is important to us, we believe God is still calling us forward—into deeper faith, meaningful service, and a more just and compassionate world.

We are connected to the larger Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), a denomination committed to worship, education, mission, and social witness. To learn more about Presbyterian beliefs and practices, visit pcusa.org 

We are not a church that asks you to check your brain at the door. Questions are welcome. Doubts are welcome. We believe faith grows through curiosity, conversation, prayer, and community.

No matter where you are on your journey, there is a place for you here.
