The Particulars
Parking is easy. There's a lot or plenty of street parking all around.
Accessibility: Wheelchair accessible parking is in the lot and people who use wheelchairs, scooters, walkers, etc. can enter the front where there is a ramp. There are ramps inside the church as well, leading to accessible bathrooms and fellowship space.
We have large print hymnals and Bibles available.
We have a portable speaker for those who could use extra hearing help.
Kids are welcome (and we know they make noise!). As a church eager to grow, we don't have a nursery currently, but we know that might change as our congregation grows. If you are uncomfortable, there is a space near the back you can walk around with a baby. But we're just happy you're here.
Our church is a warm and loving place to visit—or to call home. Here, it’s not uncommon to find hugs, handshakes, good conversations, and lasting friendships. We’re deeply committed to extending welcome, hospitality, love, and a sense of belonging—because sharing the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is at the heart of who we are.
We welcome all to worship, fellowship, and learn together in an accepting, inclusive community of faith. Whoever you are, and wherever you are on life’s journey, you have a home at First Presbyterian Church of Winnsboro.
Who You'll Find
First Pres is a multi-generational congregation, with preschoolers, retirees, and every age in between worshiping and serving together.
We’re Presbyterian in our beliefs and structure, and we’re proudly part of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)—a denomination known for thoughtful faith, service, and inclusion.
Didn't grow up Presbyterian? Don't even know how to spell Presbyterian? You're in good company. If you grew up Catholic, Baptist, a different faith, no faith or somewhere in between, you will be very welcome here.
Our Values through Grace
At First Presbyterian Church of Winnsboro, everything we do flows from the grace and truth of Jesus Christ.
We believe the Bible is God’s Word, our trustworthy guide for faith and life, revealing Christ’s love to the world.
We stand in the historic Christian faith expressed in the Apostles’ and Nicene Creeds—affirming the Trinity, our need for grace, salvation through Christ alone, and the hope of God’s coming Kingdom.
We follow the Presbyterian model of leadership, where elders serve, guide, and care for the congregation.

Mission & Vision
Our Mission and Vision
We are a loving, generous, accepting congregation that strives for spiritual growth through sharing God’s Word. This is achieved through the pulpit and lay-led classes. We offer two Sunday school classes before worship service.
We are committed to our youth and want to continue to build our youth program through solid Christian instruction, including Presbytery-sponsored events. The church offers to sponsor high school members to attend SHYC (Senior High Youth Connection) and Synod Youth Workshops. Middle and high school youth are invited to attend two retreats a year at Camp Gilmont, a Presbyterian campground located nearby. The church also has a tradition of offering to send young people to summer camp at Camp Gilmont. In addition, several of our members serve at Camp Gilmont as counselors, volunteers and staff.
