Welcome to First Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), located in downtown Decatur, Illinois.  We welcome all who visit and all who feel called by God to join our congregation, regardless of age, race, culture, socio-economic status, ethnicity, gender expression, or sexual orientation.  We are grateful for members who are involved as teachers and church officers, including LGBTQ persons.  We recognize the right of all people to marry, including same-gender couples.  All are welcome.

As faithful followers of Jesus Christ in this modern world, we strive to seek justice, spread kindness, and embrace inclusion.  We work toward these goals through worship, service, mission, stewardship, education, and fellowship.  Please browse the VISITORS tab to learn more about us and our goals, programs, and services.  Feel free to check out all the tabs.

Join us as we share our talents, passions, and struggles.  We have good discussions, respect for varying opinions, opportunities for personal growth, and a fair amount of laughter.  We are unified in our faith, hope, trust, and gratitude to God.

Come, join the conversation.
