Nurturing Joyful Faith and Compassionate Service

A Mission With Focus…

Our desire is to call all people to a personal faith in Jesus Christ through worship, service, commitment, compassion, and evangelism so that they may know God’s grace and love.

A Church With Deep Roots...

First Presbyterian Church of Starkville is the oldest Presbyterian church in North Mississippi. Organized in 1821 with the Mayhew Mission to the Choctaw Indians. The mission was begun by missionaries about seven miles from Starkville in Oktibbeha County. Rev. Cyrus Kingsbury was the first missionary sent by the American Board of Mission in answer to a call from the Choctaw Indians and served as the first pastor of the church.

From Deep Roots to a Flourishing Future…

Our doors and hearts are open. Following in the footsteps of a Godly heritage, First Presbyterian Church has a glorious future ahead. Join us this Sunday and experience nurturing compassionate faith and compassionate service.
