Encouraging people to learn, show and share God's love through service and support

Front Sign of First Presbyterian Church of Girard, rebuilding in 2020

On July 22, 2018 our historic church building was destroyed by a fire,  HOWEVER we, "the church", are still present in Girard.

The many contributions and prayers that we have received from churches, businesses, and individuals continue to bless us. We are committed to continuing our ministry in Girard and rebuilding plans are in progress. Thank you once again for your donations through Erie Gives.

Welcome

We are a caring community of folks of all ages who gather each week to joyfully worship God. Our worship service style is traditional, with some contemporary songs sung on some Sundays. One Sunday each month, communion is usually observed.

We have a bell choir, chancel choir, men’s breakfast group, women’s group, and Sunday school classes for all ages, including nursery care.

We are part of the PCUSA but do not hold to many of the liberal beliefs of some in our denomination. Please contact the church with any questions you may have.

My door is open and we pray that God will lead people to our church who will feel welcome and become part of this church family.

Pastor Nicola  


Rev. Nicola (Italian for Nicholas) Vitiello is a graduate of Grove City College and earned his Master of Divinity from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary.  Rev. Vitiello has been our pastor since 2011.
