First Presbyterian Church

First Presbyterian Church is a Presbyterian church at 262 E Avenue A in Jerome, ID 83338-2702. It is one of 22 churches in Jerome.

We joined the ECO denomination early in 2012 desiring its focus on Christ as Savior, the authority of scripture and the emphasis on reaching out beyond the walls of the church to will the gospel message.

JFPC is located 120 miles southeast of Idaho’s capitol, Boise. Our congregation is multigenerational. JFPC has deep roots as the first protestant church in Jerome with worship held in a tent and now worshipping in a building that is over 100 years old.

First Presbyterian Church is part of the Presbyterian family of churches in The American Church Story. 34 congregations of the Presbyterian family gather across Idaho — 11,342 across the United States on The Church Map.

Presbyterians gave American Christianity much of its backbone: seminaries, catechisms, and shared government by elders rather than by one man, a habit that shaped the country's civic life as much as its churches. They have been among the most persistent builders of colleges, hospitals, and mission agencies this nation has.
