Concert on May 15th, 2008 at 7 pm in the Sanctuary!
Come celebrate with us God's glorious legacy of service through our congregation through a truly gala concert of symphonic music. This event will commemorate the actual charter date, May 15, 1858 of this historic and landmark congregation in Pine Bluff, Arkansas. Dr. Andr? Strydom, our minister of music, will conduct the First Presbyterian Church Symphony Orchestra in classical pieces for symphony and choir. The second half of the concert will feature world renowned California jazz pianist, Jim Martinez, and our very own Jehovah Jazz Combo.
Following the concert in the Sanctuary, the audience is invited to our Sesquicentennial Birthday Party inside and on the grounds surrounding McColgan Hall.
Both the concert and party are free and open to the general public. See you there!

Sesquicentennial Special Guest Preachers Program
One of the amazing legacies of our congregation's faithfulness can be seen in the 19 men and woman who either grew up or were sponsored by this church family in full-time Christian ministry. From all corners of our nation's borders, these "children of the church" have agreed to return throughout the year to preach God's Word and to celebrate what together God has done to further the kingdom in this world. Check our regular "What's Happening" section of the web for weekly updates and schedules.
