First United Presbyterian Church
Our History
As a congregation, we trace our
roots back to the year 1876 when a
group of Welsh immigrants arrived
in the lumbering town of DuBois.
Our congregation began in that year
with a mere 10 people. Since then we
have served the DuBois Community
through ministries and missions,
including home delivered meals,
educational opportunities for all
ages, community events such as
musical concerts and dinners, and
through the many civic
responsibilities of our members.
We are a Presbyterian Church
(USA) congregation.

serves as our directive for ministry and
mission in this community and around
the world. For 130 years the First

proclaim God's goodness and grace to
all.

participating in the future of God's
ministry through renovations to our
buildings, continued support of Paint

outreach programs.
