First Presbyterian Church of Olathe, Kansas, is a community of Christians seeking to be alive to Christ and to the world.  "First Pres," as it is affectionately known by the congregation, has a strong heritage of dynamic worship, beautiful music, inspirational programs for fellowship and education, and a strong commitment to both local and world mission.  Programs for children and youth focus on growing in Christian faith, friendship, and service. 

Established in 1865, First Pres is the longest, continuously-functioning church in Olathe.  Building upon our past,  our vision is for today and the future: a church that seeks to be a blessing to our community and beyond... a church that is intentional in loving people and growing disciples... a church that is alive with authentic relationships–real relationships with Christ and each other... a church that seeks to return the ministry back into the hands of the people... a church that is characterized by the joy of serving the Lord together.

We believe that salvation is merely the first step in a continuing lifelong process of discipleship. Our community practices a variety of disciplines to nurture the likeness of Christ – including worship, character development, evangelism, service, stewardship, and fellowship. Corporate worship is at the center of the Christian community's life and, as such, should be the best possible in the Reformed tradition. Our worship services include elements of the old and new, the contemporary and the traditional.
