Downtown Edmonton
Sunday morning on 105 Street
Since 1881, we have gathered to worship God. Through our shared faith, we strengthen the bonds of family, build a caring community, and inspire hope in all who walk through our doors.
Sunday worship
11:00 a.m.
Service runs to 12:00 noon.
Holy Communion six times a year.
A welcome
You are welcome here, whoever you are and wherever you are on your journey
We are called to love God and to love our neighbours as ourselves. Everything we do flows from that calling: welcoming those who gather on Sunday—whether for the first time or the sixtieth year—making room for one another, serving our community through our food bank, and reaching out with a phone call or a friendly visit to someone who needs encouragement.
You do not need to know the hymns, or the order of service, or anyone in the room. Come in, sit where you like, and stay for coffee afterwards if you can. We would be glad to meet you.
Life at First Church
Music, ministry and a long memory
Three things a first visit tends to notice, in a congregation that has been part of downtown Edmonton for close to a century and a half.
Music at First
The Casavant organ has been played in this room since 1909. An anthem or solo is offered every Sunday except in July and August, sung by the First Presbyterian Choir.
Since 1881
The first Presbyterian service in what is now Alberta was held on November 6, 1881. The 1912 sanctuary is a Provincial Historic Resource.
