The First Presbyterian Church has been a welcoming and accommodating church from the beginning when the Civil War came to Pulaski County, Somerset, and the church. Shortly after the church building was built in 1861, the battle of Mill Springs was fought near Somerset, and the church was turned into a hospital for wounded soldiers. Parishioners were not able to worship in their new building until the battle ended and the wounded were removed.

That welcoming and accommodating attitude still exists today. The church is like a family that loves to get together for fellowship and worship. It welcomes new members and quickly makes them feel a part of the family. It is also ready to accommodate and be helpful to others through such things its "Meal Share" program where it provides a meal for some members of the community and sits down to share it with them, through letting AA use its facilities, through building homes on the gulf coast after hurricane Katrina, through supporting God's Food Pantry, through PERM (Pulaski Emergency Ministry), through support of Bethany House Abuse Shelter, and many other projects.

We enjoy our diversity and accept everyone without making an attempt to make them fit into a particular mold to be a member of the church. We simply ask that one believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. We pray for and support each other in time of need and rejoice together during times of celebration.
