Welcome!

Thank you for visiting the website of First Presbyterian Church in Hernando, MS. Whether you’re a long-time member or a first-time guest, we’re glad you’re here!

We have two worship services. Children’s Church is offered at the 11:00 a.m. service. You are invited to join us for worship and fellowship!

Our Mission

The mission of the First Presbyterian Church is to worship and to enjoy the Lord as we take a spiritual journey through life; this is accomplished by:

The teaching and preaching of God’s word.

The sharing of our faith in Christ with one another and our neighbors.

Being generous stewards of all that God has entrusted to us.

The First Presbyterian Church of Hernando invites you to participate in its mission. We are one of Hernando’s oldest churches, yet we are a young church in our enthusiasm for bringing newcomers into the fellowship of the church.

The opportunities for worship and service at First Presbyterian are open to everyone. If you are considering a new church home, we invite you to visit with us, join our church family, and become involved in the life of our church.

Note From The Pastor

First Presbyterian Church, like a strong southern oak, has its roots firmly planted in a rich history while its branches extend outward in love and service to God and to others. Our faith in Christ has enabled us to weather many storms together, and that same faith continues to nourish us as we put on new leaves, growing in the Spirit through God’s grace.

It is my hope that this website will capture the spirit and character which make up First Church. Our common endeavor to worship the living God, our desire to learn God’s Word, our love and concern for one another, and our deep commitment to reach out to others with the love of Christ should be evident on the following pages. Indeed, it is our church’s people who embody those roots of faith and the new limbs growing toward our future in God’s service.

Thanks for taking the time to see Who we are all about.

Yours in Christ,

Rev. Chip Hatcher
