They meet monthly and are actively involved in mission work both globally and locally, in commitment to Christ.

Adult Fellowship Opportunities
Sunday Fellowship Hour:
Immediately following worship every Sunday, a time of connecting through socializing and conversation is held in the Fellowship Room at the church – and all ages are welcomed! Coffee, Tea and light snacks are provided. It’s a great time to get better acquainted If you’re new, and a fabulous opportunity for long-time friends to catch up.
Cook’s Night Out:
Once or twice a month, folks in the First Presbyterian Church community gather at a local restaurant to give the “cook” a night off! Members of the Cook’s Night Out group take turns planning the next night out, by selecting the restaurant and making reservations. It’s always a convivial experience! Contact Susan for more information
Book Clubbers:
Book Clubbers meet at 1 PM on the 4th Thursday of each month at Great Harvest Bakery to discuss a pre-selected book. Contact the church office for more information. Open to all!
Blessings Box:
Our community mini-pantry “Blessing Box” is always available at the corner of 5th Ave North and Gooding Ave outside our Church entrance. The box is stocked with donated food items to help those in need. Our local community also adds to the box anytime they have something they wish to give.
Shoes for School:
The mission of this program is to provide school shoes for needy children here in our own Twin Falls community. The number of homeless students in kindergarten through 12th grade in our area continues to grow. Many families struggle to provide enough food let alone school shoes, clothes and supplies. Money donations are used to purchase $40 gift cards from The Shoe Department.
Community Outreach
We fully align with the simple commandment to love your neighbor. Through hands-on service and compassionate giving, our outreach programs are ways we live out that calling with practical actions in our Twin Falls community. Whether it’s offering a warm lunch, a new pair of school shoes, or pantry essentials, our aim is to show up where our love is needed most.
Sandwich Saturday:
Every other Saturday, volunteers come together to assemble bag lunches for people in need here in Twin Falls, anyone is welcome to come get a free bag lunch. Preparation begins at 10:30 and usually concludes by 11:30.
This ministry began in 2020 and has grown from 25 bag lunches to 114. The lunches are distributed to individuals in temporary housing, as well as outside the church near the corner of 5th & Gooding.
