Welcome to the website of First Presbyterian Church of Jackson, Mississippi. We are thankful for your interest in First Presbyterian Church. The First Presbyterian Church of Jackson has been a steadfast witness to historic, Reformed, Christianity for over 175 years.

The church’s first minister was the Reverend Peter Donan (who did his studies at Princeton in the days of Charles Hodge and Samuel Miller). He and his little flock organized First Presbyterian Church on April 8, 1837, in a meeting held in the Capitol Building at the northeast corner of North President and Capitol Streets in downtown Jackson. Massive changes have occurred in our world and culture since then, but the First Presbyterian Church still holds fast “the confession of our hope without wavering” (Hebrews 10:23).
