What to Expect on Sunday
Welcome and Check-In
Welcome to First Presbyterian Church of Orangeburg! We're a warm, welcoming community of believers drawn together by our trust in an all-knowing, all-powerful God.
At each entrance, all ages are invited to check-in with a greeter.
The Greeters can direct you where you need to go,
and answer questions you may have.
Nursey care for infants to 3 year olds is available from 9:30 to 12:15.


Sunday School Fellowship
9:30
Join us for a short time of fellowship before classes begin.


Sunday School
10:00 - 10:45
Adult Sunday School classes offer opportunities for adults to continue to grow in their faith and put that faith into action. Come join classes or visit each class before you decide which class best meets your spiritual and fellowship needs.


Worship
11:00 (Sanctuary)
Nursery Care
For children ages 3 and younger, nursery care is available from 9:30 to 12:15.
Children's Church
Our worship service includes a time for the children after which they are excused from the sanctuary to participate in worship designed specifically for them. Click below for more information.
Our worship service each week is centered around two readings from scripture. Sermons are typically anchored in the scripture lessons, and music at our worship service includes piano, pipe organ, and talented choirs.


Communion
11:00 (Sanctuary)
A service with the whole church family.
The first Sunday of each month is communion Sunday.
-
How do I find the church?The church is located inside Orangeburg at 650 Summers Ave. We have parking on Stanley St directly next to the church building.

What should I wear?Casual dress is welcome. People wear a variety of styles of clothes from short sleeves (especially in the summer), to suit jackets and “Sunday dresses.” Please dress comfortably and in a way which allows you to devote attention to worship.
-
Are there nursery care or children’s worship during service?There are. Nursery is available for children under three. Greeters will help you check in and direct you.
-
Is your building accessible / ADA compliant?TBD
-
Am I allowed to take the Lord’s Supper (communion?)We believe it is the Lord’s table, and all who believe in him and have been baptized may partake. This includes believing Christians, no matter their particular denomination.
-
I don’t have a background in the Christian religion / I’m not sure what I believe. Will that be a problem if I want to visit?It won’t be a problem at all! Anyone is welcome to attend our time of Worship. You may participate (in singing, the prayers, in Sunday Bible study) as you wish. And, if you want to see a service before you attend in-person, check out our live streams. Please know the pastoral staff is always happy to discuss any questions you might have about our faith in God: Father, Son, & Holy Spirit.

What if I have other questions?Please contact the office. You can find our contact form here.
