First Presbyterian Church

Rooted in Jesus and focused on serving others, First Presbyterian Church operates as a central place of worship in Grand Junction, Colorado. The congregation emphasizes that worship extends beyond a simple gathering, serving as a way to deepen connections through prayer, singing, and scripture. The church offers varied service styles to accommodate different preferences. Traditional worship takes place on Sundays at 8:30 and 11:00 a.m. in the Sanctuary, featuring hymns accompanied by organ or piano, with occasional bells or orchestra on special occasions. A Worship Choir leads special anthems for most of the year, while soloists perform during the offertory. Contemporary worship occurs on Sundays at 9:30 a.m. in the Multi-Purpose Room. This service is slightly more informal but retains core elements like confession and scripture readings. The primary difference lies in the music, led by a Praise Band utilizing guitars, vocals, keyboards, and drums. A Children’s sermon is included during contemporary services. The church also hosts a "5th Sunday" service on months with five Sundays, limiting services to two times at 9:00 and 11:00 a.m. to foster unity between the traditional and contemporary groups. Online worship is available on Mondays, featuring video recordings of Sunday services, including scripture, sermons, and monthly communion.
