Welcome to First Presbyterian!

I’m so glad you stopped by to take a closer look at this beautiful church, nestled in the majestic mountains of Western North Carolina in the charming town of Waynesville.

If you are searching for a place of worship

that feels like “home” – this is the place for you!

If you've never been to our church before, come by this Sunday!

We are a community of Christ-followers

who love to gather in joyful worship of God.

We hope this site gives you an idea of

who we are and what we believe,

but you won’t really know unless you come and see for yourself!
