The First Presbyterian Church is a historic congregation currently housed at 1390 North State Street in Jackson, Mississippi.

[3] Its pastor at the time of the PCA's establishment in 1973, Rev Donald Patterson, was Chairman of the Steering Committee for a Continuing Presbyterian Church and preached at the inaugural PCA General Assembly.

[7] The minister and some members of FPC were very influential in the 1992 formation of Mission Mississippi, an ecumenical racial reconciliation initiative.

Soon afterwards, however, there was a backlash against the organization within this congregation, dues to the church's historic resistance to the civil rights movement.

[10] The church describes itself " A steadfast witness to historic Reformed Christianity for over 175 years".
