Frequently Asked Questions

Our Sunday mornings begin with Sunday School classes for all ages from 9:00 AM - 9:45 AM.
Worship in the sanctuary begins at 10:15 AM. We also use Facebook to live-stream our worship services!
We occasionally have church fellowship breakfasts at 9:00 AM in the Family Life Center during normal Sunday School time.
When you arrive at our sanctuary, ushers will greet you and provide a bulletin that outlines the order of the worship service. Much of this information, including hymns and unison prayers, is also displayed on large screens at the front of the sanctuary.
The first half of the service includes a welcome message from the pastor and announcements from the congregation, followed by prayer, singing, a call to worship (focusing on the congregation and on what we have come to do), a prayer of confession, the assurance of pardon (God’s love and grace to us), and a short sermon for the younger children. Younger children can remain in the sanctuary or follow an escort to the nursery.

The second half of the worship service includes the scripture readings (from both the Old and New Testaments), an anthem by the choir, a sermon, prayers of the people, the Lord’s prayer (we say “debts” and “debtors” instead of “trespasses” and “trespass”), affirmation of faith, offering, and a charge and benediction.

We normally have traditional church worship music (piano and organ) with occasional handbells, guitar, and other instruments featuring musical talents of church members or visitors. We sing both traditional hymns and more recent Christian songs.
Yes! We love children at First Presbyterian Church and welcome you to keep your children with you during the service. Children’s bulletins and crayons are available from the ushers. For your convenience, a nursery for children ages 5 and under is available. Some families choose to bring their children to church at the beginning of the service and allow them to go to the nursery after the children’s sermon. Your child will receive lots of loving attention from the nursery attendants!
You’ll find everything from suits and ties to blue jeans on a Sunday morning. More important than what you wear to church, we want you to be comfortable here. Dress would probably be described as “casual,” much like many workplaces today. So don’t let what you wear keep you from coming to worship God with us.
No. You will not be asked to stand or to introduce yourself. We have greeters and ushers who welcome each person as they enter, and they will answer any questions you may have. You are invited, but not required, to fill out a Visitor Information card located in each pew. You can just drop it in the offering plate or give it to an usher.
First Presbyterian Church of Fayetteville, TN is a member congregation of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.).

Currently the largest Presbyterian denomination, the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), which has its national offices in Louisville, Kentucky, was formed in 1983 during the reunion of the Presbyterian Church in the U.S., the so-called “southern branch,” and the United Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A., the so-called “northern branch.” This reunion has been a bright spot of reconciliation and unity in the history of American Presbyterianism.
