Review of First Presbyterian Church

We moved to Colorado Springs just before Thanksgiv...

We moved to Colorado Springs just before Thanksgiving 2014. Our son and his family gifted us with tickets for the lovely Christmas concert sponsored by First Pres downtown at the Pikes Peak Performing Arts Center. We had no idea what a marvelous gift that would be! We arrived early, and absolutely LOVED the many traditional Christmas carols, and the various music styles. We both agreed we had never heard such wonderful Christmas music in our lifetimes. We have continued to visit approximately eight different churches in Colorado Springs, but always seem to return to the downtown location of First Pres. The music absolutely "feeds our souls." Even though there is not presently a senior pastor on the staff, everyone who has been speaking on Sundays from the staff, as well as one guest speaker we heard from Fuller Theological Seminary in CA., have done an excellent job! We have felt very welcome in a totally new environment after living in Atlanta, GA.,
for the past 32 years. We also appreciate the long history of this Christian ministry located downtown
in the city of Colorado Springs, and reaching out to the community as "salt and light."
