About Us
Ministering together for God's Glory & Purpose
First Presbyterial is a part of the larger body of the ARP Women’s Ministries. We primarily serve and equip the women of the ARP Churches in Western North Carolina. We help sponsor events, raise funds, and provide communication for the women of our denomination.
WHO WE ARE
We are women who love the Lord Jesus Christ.
We are women who love the Lord Jesus Christ. We are devoted to our families, supportive of our churches, and determined to help lead others to know and enjoy the fullness of life that only Christ can give. We are women who honor our heritage of faith as we live out our legacy in the present, looking to the glorious hope of the future.
We are women just like you: young, old, and everything in-between; married, single, widowed, or divorced; some with children, some without; moms that work outside the home and moms that don’t; wives at home, sisters at school, emptynesters, and, well, you get the picture.
ARP women are a diversely unified group with a long history of commitment to Missions and Ministry, both of which continue to define and guide who they are today. Strong support of the Agencies and Ministries of the ARP Church has long been the heartbeat of the women.
