We, the members of
First Presbyterian Church,
by the grace of God, exist to make
disciples of Jesus Christ by


LEADING people to Jesus Christ,
LEARNING about our faith,
LIVING a Christ-centered life, and
LOVING our neighbor through ministries of service and compassion.

First Presbyterian Church of Fort Lauderdale, with approximately 2,800 members, has a Session (board of elders), consisting of 30 lay men and women elders, who govern our church.

In addition, our Board of Trustees (30 men and women) are responsible for the finances and property of the church. A Board of Deacons (42 men and women) carries out the ministry

of lay pastoral care to the congregation. We also have a staff of five pastors and many other professionals who work in ministry to children, youth and adults, music ministries and outreach ministries.
