First Presbyterian Church

First Presbyterian Church is a Christ-centered community of faith whose mission is to love God, love others, and make disciples.

We welcome all who seek Christ to the 9:00 am contemporary service and 11:00 am traditional service on Sundays. We are located on the corner of South Temple and C Street (400E) in the Avenues neighborhood of Salt Lake City.

At the 9:00 am service, contemporary music is provided by the Rising Sound praise band, while at the 11:00 am traditional service the Organist and Choir lead the congregation in hymns and anthems.

The same sermon (message) is delivered at these services by Pastor Steve Aeschbacher or Pastoral Associate Bre Magill. After each service, light refreshments are available in the fellowship area. At 9:00 & 11:00 am on the first Sunday of each month, The Lord’s Supper (communion, eucharist, sacrament) consisting of bread and grape juice is offered for those who wish to participate.

Children’s Ministry 

The church provides a nursery on the second floor for children up to 3 years old at both services. At the 11:00 am traditional service children age 3 – 5th grade are invited to the front of the church for a special children’s message gathered around the pastor or leader. They are then led to their classrooms for a children’s program until the end of the service. For more information visit our Children’s Ministry page.
