Our campus is easy to find and located in the Colee Hammock neighborhood, a quaint location and just steps from the New River, in the heart of downtown Fort Lauderdale.
Our robust programming is tailored to offer opportunities for families and individuals of all ages from birth on up.
The possibility of a new friendship starts with an introduction. We invite you to connect with us as well as your peers through our numerous offerings including, weekly events and opportunities for fellowship, eight core ministries, and more than 50 programs and classes.
Our Faith Comes Alive when we work together to make a difference. If you desire to lead people into a growing relationship with Jesus by serving in mission, we would love for you to join us.
Among the many reasons the scriptures offer for why we should give, the one that moves our heart most directly - it makes us more like Christ.
Creating a church community that is rich in fellowship is how we ensure we grow together in our faith and stay connected with one another.
At First Presbyterian Church of Fort Lauderdale, our officers are elected by our congregation to serve for three-year terms. The two categories of officers in the church are Elders and Deacons.
The Elders are responsible for spiritual oversight and guidance of the church body. Church Elders serve as members of the Session and provide leadership as committee members and chairpersons in worship, mission, and nurture programs for all ages.
