In worship, we joyfully praise and honor the triune God
In worship, we acknowledge God’s presence in the world and in our lives
In worship, we offer our time, talents and treasures to God
In worship, we are equipped to serve God in the world
We believe that worship, witness and service are one and the same. Worship is a response to our calling as individuals — and a reflection of our commitment as a body of believers.
Join us, and find an experience that’s warm and familiar, thoughtful and intentional, engaging and challenging.

Sacraments
Presbyterian Church USA (PCUSA) and First Presbyterian Church of Richardson observe two sacraments in worship:
The Lord’s Supper: typically the first Sunday of each month
- During communion, we remember God’s covenant promise — and we pledge our obedience by sharing the bread and cup
- Grape juice and gluten-free wafers are available
Baptism
- We recognize baptism as the cornerstone of Christian commitment.
- Children: Baptism (by sprinkling of water) is offered to children of FPCR members
- Adults: Baptism (by sprinkling of water) is open to any candidate willing to proclaim his or her faith
We'd love to welcome you into Christ’s body and into this family. If you want to be baptized at First Presbyterian Church of Richardson, please contact the Church Office to arrange a meeting at your convenience. For membership information, please click here.
Lectionary and Sermons
As a congregation of the Presbyterian Church USA (PCUSA), First Presbyterian follows a lectionary that outlines scripture readings for specific days and occasions.
With few exceptions, we follow the 3-year “Revised Common Lectionary”
Sermons
Sermons at First Presbyterian are intended to make the lectionary material real and meaningful in the lives of our congregants.
