Mission Statement

 

The mission of First Presbyterian Church of Columbus, Georgia is to be an open, caring community of Christian cross-bearers, who joyfully enter the gates of the Sanctuary to worship the Triune God; who go back out into the world equipped for service in the name of Jesus Christ; whose hearts and minds are always open to the presence of the Spirit of the Risen Lord; whose doors are open to those who knock.

 
                             
Vision Poem

Seventeen decades in the heart of Columbus
 
Staying   -   through war, disaster, crisis within and beyond
 
Staying   -   reformed yet welcoming,
                  traditional yet alert,
                  resourceful yet dependent upon God's staying power
 
Staying   -   busy yet purposeful,
                  community-minded,
                  proud yet responsible
 
Staying   -   to serve the new Columbus
                  diverse, mobile, international
 
Staying   -   to hear God's call afresh
                  for our 18th decade and beyond
 
First Presbyterian - staying power in Christ
                  Out of the past,
                  Into the future,
                  Through the Spirit
