A Note for Visitors:
We're so glad you're here! Whether this is your first visit, you're returning after some time away, or you're simply passing through, we hope you feel right at home at First Presbyterian Church in Victor (FPCV). We are an open and affirming congregation, and we believe that everyone who finds their way to our church has a place here. You don't need to have all the answers, believe all the same things, or be at a particular place in your faith journey. Come as you are. Your presence is truly a gift to us.
For many of us, Sunday mornings feel like reconnecting with old friends. Our worship reflects the fullness of life, making room for joy and laughter, as well as tears, questions, and challenges. Rooted in tradition while embracing today's world, we gather to deepen our relationship with God, strengthen our connections with one another, and explore what faith means in our everyday lives.
Through scripture, preaching, prayer, music, and sacraments, we seek to experience God's presence together. We believe sermons should be conversation starters, not conversation enders. Questions are always welcome, and we hope worship leaves you with something to think about, talk about, and carry into the week ahead.
Music in Worship
Music is an important part of worship at First Presbyterian Church in Victor, bringing us together in faith and song. Our services blend traditional and contemporary hymns, accompanied by organ and piano. We also welcome vocalists and instrumentalists to share their musical gifts with our congregation.
Our choir shares special music once a month, usually on the first Sunday, with selections ranging from gospel and traditional anthems to light classical works. We'd love for you to join us! Whether you're an experienced singer or simply enjoy making music, there's a place for you in our choir. No auditions necessary—just a willingness to sing and share in the joy of music!
Our historic pipe organ dates back to the 1800s and includes the Busch Memorial Chimes, installed in 1946 in memory of WWII serviceman Richard Busch through the generosity of the Victor community.
Ayn Patrowicz has faithfully served as our accompanist since 2002.
Music is better when we make it together, and we'd be delighted to have you join us!
Children in Worship
Children are welcome to participate in worship with their families at all times. Most Sundays there is a special “Children’s Time” education opportunity lead by the pastors during worship.
For babes in arms, there is an Infant Care Room at the rear of the sanctuary (at the top of the east stairs, to the right as you face the back of the church). This room has a crib, a changing station, infant toys, and comfortable chairs. It is wired for sound and has a large window so that you can see and hear the service as you stay with your child.
Mobility Impaired?
One of the goals of our most recent renovation was to make our church completely accessible to those with mobility limitations. An elevator takes you to both floors, and there are ramps and accessible restrooms everywhere you need them. Enter the church from the rear entrance (by the parking lot) and the elevator is to your right, which will take you to the sanctuary level.
