Greetings!
Welcome to First Presbyterian Church of LaGrange, Texas. We are glad to introduce you to this lively community of faith in Central Texas. In six words, our ministry ethos is this: compassionate action, modeling faith, building community. We serve the local community through the AMEN Food Pantry, Second Chance Emporium, the LaGrange Area Ministerial Alliance, and a host of volunteer service.
We are a multi-generational congregation with a heart for worship and service, prayer and study, fellowship and care for others. Our children lead us each week as they gather and bless donations for the Food Pantry. We celebrate the Lord’s Supper on the first Sunday of each month; share table fellowship at the Second Sunday Lunch, and worship week to week seeking to “glorify God and to enjoy God forever.”
We seek to build community with family and friends and guests, with the community, with other congregations, and as we pursue an international partnership with a church from the Czech Republic.
To quote one of our members, we are people who have fun doing good things with and for others.
We hope that you will visit so that we may get to know you.
Blessings,
The Rev. Martha Langford, Pastor

Sermon: "Law of Love"
Rev. Martha LangfordThe Pharisees are at it again, taking time to interrogate Jesus about Torah. They want to know the greatest commandment and Jesus gives them two. We've heard the words so many times--Love God... Love your neighbor... At the heart of the gospel, these are both commands and a promise.; "You shall love..." Perhaps that is the heart of the gospel, the relationships that transforms us and the practices that grow us in the love of God, the acceptance of self, the love of our neighbor.

Sermon: "First Things First"
Rev. Martha LangfordIt was a test, and either/or litmus test given by opposition parties to trap Jesus in a compromising answer. But Jesus moves beyond the either/or to get at the heart of the matter lifting up our ultimate allegiance and purpose in this life. If you can find it, bring some loose change as we consider the image engraved in our very being.
