FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

• The First Presbyterian Church, Kissimmee, was founded September 20, 1884, with 16 members.

• The first Pastor, the Rev. Caleb E. Jones, helped design and construct the first building which was dedicated on May 6, 1886.

• The original structure, still in use today, is Wooden Gothic, or Steamboat Gothic, as some of the same kind of wooden trim was often used in the steamboats of that day.

• Various fellowship and Bible Study groups are active throughout the week.

• The church continues to be a vital part of the community through mission work and community service which includes providing space and/or support for:

                    - Daily Bread, an ecumenical ministry to feed the hungry

                    - Boy, Girl, and Cub Scouts

                    - Alcoholics Anonymous

• Throughout the year, offerings and programs place particular emphasis upon the command of Christ to welcome and care for the "least" in society.  In so doing, we serve our Lord and experience the presence of the risen Christ.  (Mathew 25:31-46)
