Locally and Intentionally

fpc MISSIONS

At FPC, our mission work embodies the spirit of service and compassion that defines our community. We reach out locally in LaGrange and Troup County, addressing urgent needs and fostering sustainable growth. From feeding those in need to supporting education initiatives, each mission is a step towards making a tangible difference in the lives of others, reflecting our commitment to living out our faith through action.

Mission Partnerships

At First Presbyterian Church of LaGrange, we believe mission starts right here at home. We partner with local organizations to meet the spiritual, physical, and emotional needs of our neighbors, walking alongside them in ways that build lasting relationships. From supporting food ministries to serving in schools and community programs, we seek to share God’s love and bring hope to LaGrange one act of service at a time.
