About First Presbyterian Church of LaGrange

That all may
KNOW GOD’S LOVE

It's why we open our doors wide, build real relationships, and seek to serve both our church and our community. We believe in showing up for each other, for our neighbors, and for a world in need of hope. That’s how we live into our mission to be a church where all belong, grow, and serve in the name of Jesus Christ.
