Church Membership

If you are interested in becoming a member of First Presbyterian Church, you are invited to meet ministers and members of Session on the second Sunday of each month in the Parlor. To give you a great welcome to the First Presbyterian family, it would be helpful to us, but not necessary, to know of your desire to join before the meeting by contacting Cathy Bagwell, Volunteer and New Member Coordinator (cbagwell@fpcspartanburg.org) or Congregational Care Administrative Assistant Joanie Shackleton (jshackleton@fpcspartanburg.org).

You are also invited to explore and learn more about the church through our Discover FPC classes, held in February and September 2024.
These classes take place during the Sunday School hour over three consecutive Sundays. The first class will be February 18th. Contact Cathy Bagwell to sign up!

You may join First Presbyterian Church by one of the following methods:

Profession of Faith

A baptized person makes a profession of faith in Jesus Christ.

Certificate of Transfer

A person who is a member of another Christian Church asks for a letter of transfer.

Reaffirmation of Faith

A person is asked to reaffirm his or her faith in Jesus Christ.

Baptism

A person who has not been baptized does so by making public his or her profession of faith and receiving baptism after instruction and examination by the Session.

Affiliate Member

A person who is a member of another church, but temporarily spends time in Spartanburg and wishes to be officially connected to First Presbyterian, can do so while maintaining membership at their present church.
