First Presbyterian Church of Lake Placid is a Christ-centered congregation in the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church, which holds to the great truths of the Christian faith as revealed in the Bible.
We Believe...
* God is the sovereign Creator and Ruler of the universe.
* Jesus Christ is the Son of God, the only Savior and Lord of mankind.
* The Holy Spirit is the initiator and enabler for the Christian life.
* The Bible is the infallible Word of God, the only perfect rule of faith and life.
* Salvation is completely by God’s grace, freely given through faith, and not earned by any human merit.
* The Ten Commandments are the summation of mankind’s responsibility to God and to one another.
* Family Worship and Tithing are encouraged. Church Government is by the Presbyterian system.
* The New Testament sets forth a pattern of leadership by Elders and Deacons. Each congregation elects these officers in a democratic manner.
* The Sacrament of Baptism is administered to believers and their children.
* Believers may join FPC by professing or reaffirming faith in Jesus Christ or by transfer of membership from another Christian Church.
* Associate Membership is welcomed to part-time residents who are members in good standing of another Christian Church.
