Welcome
Thank you for visiting our website!
Our mission is "to be a caring community of God's people who live by Christ's teachings, reach out to others to share the love of God, and celebrate the good news of Jesus Christ through worship, prayer, thought, and action."
We would delight in having you join us for Sunday Worship at 10:00 a.m! All are welcome. And for our Mission Breakfast. And for Adult Education. And the Book Study. Well, you get the picture. You are welcome.
The First Presbyterian Church here in Pardeeville, WI, has a rich history. The church was founded in 1857 and is a registered historical site.
