What to Expect

When you walk in the doors on a Sunday morning, you will be greeted with a warm smile and often a hug. Whether it is your first time at the church or you have been a part of the congregation for years, you are treated the same. As you come into the worship space, you will sense the prayers that have been offered there throughout the years. more »

Our Pastor

Rev. Ayars grew up going to church but it wasn't until mid-college that Jesus became real to him. That began a journey that continues to this day. more »

Our History

First Presbyterian Church has been a part of the Sioux Falls community since 1883. That's nearly 130 years, serving and caring for a growing, thriving, Midwestern town. This church's long history of mission and fellowship dates back to a time when South Dakota was still called the Dakota Territory. more »
