Welcome to the First Presbyterian Church of New Haven.

We hope you will worship with us and give us the opportunity to welcome you in person.

First Presbyterian Church, New Haven



First Presbyterian Church is a worshiping community of progressive Christian believers in the greater New Haven region. We are a broadly diverse and welcoming congregation, and include people from the city of New Haven and all of the surrounding towns, as well as many from the university communities.

We gather on Sunday morning to worship God, and throughout the week to be about the work of God in the world. We are a part of the Reformed tradition, which means that we value the Word of God in Scripture, and as we understand it in the midst of today’s world.

Easter Gladness Leads to Pentecost’s Creative Spirit

The early weeks of May find us in the season of Eastertide, when we hear anew the teaching of doing justice, loving kindness, and walking humbly with the God made known in Jesus.

On May 13th, the youth of the congregation will lead us, as we see and hear how God continues to do amazing things — from the mouths of our middle and senior high school students. The youth are working with CE Director Bryce Wiebe and Youth Group Advisors, Sharon and Anthony Damelio, to write and lead the liturgy for the morning.

On May 20th, we will take time during our worship service to congratulate the graduates of our congregation. This will also be the last Sunday before Co-Pastors Bill Goettler and Maria LaSala leave for their summer sabbatical.
