New Year, New Journey: Join Our Discipleship Study 

As we step into 2026, what better way to start fresh than by diving deeper into what it truly means to follow Jesus? 

Beginning this January, our Home Groups are launching a dynamic 14-week study titled “Discipleship: What It Really Means to Follow Jesus.” Whether you’re new to faith or have walked with Christ for years, this series will challenge, inspire, and equip you to live as a wholehearted disciple in everyday life.

The Minister’s Discretionary Fund – Extending Christ’s Compassion

At First Presbyterian Church of Bristol, TN, we believe that faith is best lived out through action. Each month, our mission focus highlights a way we can collectively serve as Christ’s hands and feet in the world. This December, we turn our hearts toward one of the most vital ministries of our church: The Minister’s Discretionary Fund.

Recognized biblically as a gift, hospitality invites treating others with kindness, and mirroring the grace that we have received in Christ. For some, hospitality may be experienced in a simple phone call, or a note of encouragement, perhaps even a conversation over a cup of coffee. For others, hospitality is experienced through the gift of food, with a meal received at the right moment.

At FPC we have a very active Care Committee (Congregational Care) who share the gift of hospitality in each of these ways as well as other ways. Would you consider exploring your gift for hospitality with the church?

Join Pastor Gary each week for prayer. Every Wednesday morning at 10:30 a.m. in the Chapel, Gary and staff will be gathering with any and all who would like to pray.

No need to sign up, just show up!

Women’s Bible Study meets Thursdays from 1:00 - 2:30 p.m. in room 123 at the church.

All women of the church and guests are welcome to join this group at any time. New participants are always welcome!

We will be taking a break for the holidays but will resume on January 15. Our spring study will focus on Discipleship: What It Really Means to Follow Jesus.

Come to the church parlor on Thursday’s at 7:00 a.m. for coffee, fellowship, and Bible study.
