First, welcome! We are so glad you found us and hope you will visit our vibrant community of faith here in Beaufort, SC.

First Pres Beaufort is a Christian church affiliated with the Presbyterian Church (USA). Presbyterians affirm that God comes to us with grace and love in Jesus Christ, who teaches us how to live. As Jesus’ followers, we are called to serve in his name—feeding the hungry, comforting the lonely, welcoming strangers, and sharing his story. We believe that God gifts us with the Holy Spirit to dwell within us, giving us the energy, intelligence, imagination, and love to become Christ’s faithful disciples in the world.

We worship each Sunday at 11 a.m.  Our doors are opened wide to you and your family. We are offer worship in our historic sanctuary that is also livestreamed for at home worship. For more information about our live stream click here.

Worship is the heartbeat of our lives together. Our worship is intentional and traditional — drawing upon the richness and beauty of the liturgy and music through the ages. Our service features hymns, prayers, scripture readings, time for children and a sermon delivered with energy and imagination. We have a deep love for Scripture and believe that the stories of God’s love, power, and grace, can and should shape every aspect of our lives.

We have LOTS of young families at First Pres Beaufort and your children are welcome in worship. Childcare is available every Sunday on the main level of the Education Building and children 2 and under can be dropped off in our Nursery prior to worship. For preschool and early elementary children, we have worship bags with crayons and drawing sheets. About 12 minutes into the service, there is a children’s sermon and all young folks are invited to come forward to hear a message just for them. After the children’s sermon, children 3-6 yrs can join the SonShine Club in the Education Building for the remainder of the service.  Children in grades 2nd-5th have the option to remain in worship or join the Spirit Seekers class which meets on the 2nd floor of the Education building.  The Spirit Seekers class will not meet on Communion Sundays, which is typically offered on the first Sunday of each month.  

Our campus is on the corners of Church and North Streets in historic downtown Beaufort. Our Sanctuary is located at 410 Church Street and across the street is our Office, Education and Outreach Building. Parking is available in two church parking lots and on the street.
