Welcome to First Presbyterian of Vicksburg

We’re so excited that you are considering FPC as your new church home.

Our Mission

Our mission statement is, “To Know Christ and Make Him Know, We value the Lordship of Jesus Christ, Biblical teaching and preaching, prayer, fellowship, worship and relationships. Please take a few moment to review the information on this website. You will find that our ministries are varied and exciting. God has a plan for you, and we have a community for you. You are welcome here!.

Fellowship and Renewal

Fellowship and Renewal God didn’t intend for us to live as isolated individuals. When we are nearer to Him, he also brings us nearer to one another. He wants us to be a community of believers. This is the purpose of Fellowship and Renewal Committee. We provide tablescapes and organize meals for several opportunities for fellowship with one other.

The next opportunity will be Holy Week when we host one of the ecumenical lunches. This is a wonderful opportunity to have fellowship with other churches in our downtown area. We also provide Sunday morning fellowship, Weekend of Renewal/Women’s Retreat, Wonderful Wednesday Meals and other special events. Last year we were the location for appetizers for the fundraiser for Grace Christian Counseling Center’s Progressive Dinner, hosted Bob Cunny’s 99th birthday celebration and hosted a potluck hamburger lunch to kick off the new Sunday School year. That is a lot of sweet fellowship with fellow believers! It also takes a lot of volunteers that I am very grateful for! These events couldn’t happen without them!

I have been given permission to include a list of our small groups meetings that provide another way to enjoy special fellowship and further your spiritual walk:

• Will Montgomery is teaching an in depth study of Job. This groups meets on Wednesday night at 6:00 in the classroom to the right of the elevator.

• Sara Johnson is teaching on Isaiah, This group meets at 6:00 on Wednesday night in the Library.

• Todd Boolos and Blake Teller are teaching a Max Lucado video series. They are currently meeting at the Teller home, in the pool house. This group meets on Tuesday night at 6:00.

• Fred Newcomb and Donna Bodron are teaching from The Christian Manifesto by Alistair Begg. They meet in the Koionia room Wednesday night at 6:00.

• Mike Davis is teaching an in depth study on David. They meet at 4:00 on Wednesday afternoon in the conference room.

• Fireside Chat is a discussion group currently studying They Turned the World Upside Down by Charles Martin. They meet Thursday at 10:00 in the conference room
