FPC Lake Park and NICU Helping Hands partnering to collect wedding dresses

NICU Helping Hands from Fort Worth, Texas, began a program in 2013 called Angel Gowns because they recognized the overwhelming need to support families who lost a baby while in the hospital. The Angel Gown Program provides comfort for families by providing a beautiful gown for final photos and for burial services. There is no greater gift that can be given to a grieving family than affirming the importance of the life of their child by offering this simple gift.

Our Mission

Empowered through the Holy Spirit, we seek to embrace all people with the loving arms of Jesus Christ; by providing worship, fellowship and encouragement.

Welcome!

Welcome to First Presbyterian Church's website. We pray that you find God's blessings in your life and God's grace on your heart. I invite you to search our pages and find out a little about us and God's call to us here in Lake Park. If you can, join us in worship on Sunday or if that doesn't work, join us in prayer and praise to our Creator God and to our Savior Jesus Christ in your heart.

We are a community that seeks God's call to us, that gathers around the Gospel in prayer and fellowship, that strives together to be fed and hear God's story in Word and Sacrament, and that engages in God's mission of love and ministry in our community and our world.

We hope that you find a little about what we believe, what we do, and who we are in these pages. We are a congregation of the Presbyterian Church (USA), a small part of the Universal Body of Christ called the church. If you are searching for a church family to better hear God's call on your life, we invite you to follow the Spirit's lead and join in fellowship. To God be the glory!

Rev. Tim Harmon, Pastor
First Presbyterian Church, Lake Park
