🎃 Join Us for Trunk or Treat at First Presbyterian on October 29th at 5:30 pm!

We’re inviting all our neighbors to join us for an evening of fun, fellowship, and fall celebration at our annual Trunk or Treat Fall Festival!

📅 Wednesday, October 29

🕠 5:30 PM | Lower Parking Lot

🍕 Pizza Dinner at 6:30 PM | Fellowship Hall

📍 First Presbyterian Church | 620 State Street, Knoxville, TN 37902

Bring the kids (and grown-ups, too!) in costume for trunk-or-treating, bounce houses, and plenty of laughter and fun. After the festivities, head inside for a delicious pizza dinner and time to connect with our community.

We’re located right in the heart of Downtown Knoxville, and easy parking is available next door in the State Street Garage.

Everyone is welcome—bring a friend or neighbor and come celebrate the season with us!

Join us for a joyful celebration of our children and those who teach and nurture them in faith! On Sunday, September 21, during the 11:00 AM service, our children and teachers will lead us in worship. Together, they will highlight the many ways our youngest disciples engage with God’s Word during children’s church.


Note: There will be NO 8:45 Chapel Service for Children's Ministry Sunday on September 21st

This special service is a wonderful opportunity to give thanks for our children’s ministry program, honor the teachers who guide and learn alongside them, and witness the joy and faith our children bring to the life of our church.

Join us on Wednesday, August 13, as we kick off a new year of Worshipful Wednesdays with a Launch Night Celebration! We’ll get a snapshot of all the exciting opportunities coming this fall for children, youth, and adults—and we’ll celebrate with a snow cone party from Kona Ice!

Our opening weeks (beginning on August 20) will help us explore the rich foundation of faithfulness at First, and invite us to more fully root ourselves in the beauty, mission, and history of our congregation:

Deep Roots: The Stories and Stones of First Presbyterian (Aug 20) Join local historian Jack Neely as he uncovers the rich history of First Presbyterian Church and its role in shaping the city of Knoxville.

Flourish: The Art Behind Worship (Aug 27) Discover how the Flower Guild brings worship to life through beauty. This session offers a glimpse into their creative process and the spiritual care that guides their work.

Where Justice Grows: Exploring the People and Purpose Behind the Mission Market (Sep 3) Take a behind-the-scenes look at the Mission Market with Colleen Shannon. Learn how this ministry extends justice and hope around the world—and enjoy a chance to experience some of its offerings firsthand.

Come be inspired, grounded, and connected as we begin another meaningful year together. There’s no better time to deepen your roots in this community of faith.

Dinner begins at 5:30 PM, followed by the program at 6:30 PM. We can’t wait to welcome you.
