Our church is a warm and living church, and we want you to feel comfortable and at liberty to call on us for anything you need pastorally. We would love to have you be our guest for Sunday School and worship. When you visit our church, you will find a caring congregation that will gladly welcome you, preaching/teaching that is centered on the Word of God, ministries to meet the spiritual need of every age, and a corporate outlet for truth-filled and moving praise and worship.
Our mission is to make disciples for Jesus Christ.
Our vision is be an oasis of God's love.
The mission of First Presbyterian Church of Sweetwater is to increase our love for God and to help meet the needs of our congregation and community by "loving God with all our heart, with all our soul, and with all our mind, and to love our neighbor as ourselves." We believe that we are all called to glorify God and proclaim the good news of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. We exist to grow in faith and share our faith in God with the world around us.
