First Presbyterian Church of Shelbyville

About Us

God has told you, O mortal, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?
Micah 6:8 (NRSV)
They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. Awe came upon everyone, because many wonders and signs were being done by the apostles. All who believed were together and had all things in common; they would sell their possessions and goods and distribute the proceeds to all, as any had need. Day by day, as they spent much time together in the temple, they broke bread at home and ate their food with glad and generous hearts, praising God and having the goodwill of all the people. And day by day the Lord added to their number those who were being saved.
Acts of the Apostles 2:42-47 (NRSV)
We are a community of faith with the Presbyterian Church (USA) that is trying to live out the heart of these two scriptures as best we can in a world that would have us do otherwise. So…if you have a desire for real community built on face to face relationships with a variety of folks of all ages, you belong. if you are intentionally questioning your own faith journey and yet feel the need for others who will not try to coerce you or judge you – who want just to share the journey with you, you belong. if you are a devoted, practicing disciple of Jesus who accepts people where they are – and if you are willing to share your love and life with these others as your expression of gratitude for God’s love and grace, you belong.
