Thank you for visiting First Presbyterian Church of Winter Haven On-Line.
If you happen by the church building, you will notice our "Christ window"
facing Highway 17, a major route through Winter Haven. The out-stretched hands
of Christ, and the inscription below the window "Come unto me ..." have
served as our church's invitation to membership and ministry for the last 75
years.
We hope that this invitation is still being extended through our members,
staff, and programs. Enjoy learning more about us on-line. And if you are
ever close enough to see our window, please stop in and get to know us.
In Christ,
Steve Negley
Pastor

Soup Kitchen and Bag Lunch Ministries
Feeding the hungry in Winter Haven
Our congregation is committed to addressing the needs of hunger by seeing that no person who comes to our church hungry is ever turned away.
First Presbyterian has two ministries that feed the hungry right here in our community.
Bag lunches in our church are given to those who have need.
In the just the last four weeks, First Presbyterian Church has distributed over 800 bag lunches to those who have come to the church in need.
In addition to our Bag Lunch Ministry, our church operates a Soup Kitchen that
serves a meal each Saturday between 4:00-5:00 in the afternoon at the 737 Building.
Volunteers prepare and serve the food and interact with the clients who come hungry for food and fellowship.
Last month, 354 hot meals were served on four Saturdays.
If you would like to assist First Presbyterian in these important outreaches in our community, please call our church office at 294-3121.
