As First Presbyterian Church Eustis prepares for the next season of ministry and seeks God’s guidance in calling a new installed Pastor, the Session has appointed a Mission Study Team to begin the Mission Study process with a congregational survey. Your voice is important. This survey will help us understand who we are as a congregation, where God is leading us, and what qualities we seek in our next Pastor. To help you share your thoughts with us we are asking you to complet

On June 1st we welcomed Rev. Mike Foley from Ormond Beach. Retired after 15 years in 2020 of serving as Ormond Beach Presbyterian Church's senior pastor, and 41 years of active ordained ministry. He came recommended to us by Janet Foley who is Committee on Ministry, Chair of Central Florida Presbytery; the liaison for our church during the exit transition of Rev. Mario Bolivar. He will serve as head of staff, moderator for session, and help us to establish a mission study com

On Monday, June 22, 2026 the Mission Study Task Force met with Rev. Foley to prayerfully discern the elements needed in this plan that will ultimately define the qualities needed in our next Pastor. Some of the steps include collecting statistical data of our community, our church membership, and finances. We will also reflect on our history, identity, current ministries, congregational health, vision and priorities for the next 5 years. The goal is to provide clear data and

As many of you know, we are in a season of transition in the life of our church. The Session continues to meet every Tuesday at 6:30 PM, working carefully and faithfully as we prepare for what comes next. We continue to hold Pastor Mario and his family in our prayers. While his new ministry officially begins on May 1st, he will remain in the area for a little while longer. Transitions like this take time, and your prayers for him and his family are deeply appreciated. There a

This Lent, we are inviting you—church family and friends—to walk with Jesus from the wilderness to the empty tomb. Beginning Tuesday, February 24 , we will gather each week to reflect together on From Wilderness to Glory: Lent and Easter for Everyone by N. T. Wright . This 7-week devotional traces Jesus’ journey from temptation in the wilderness to the cross—and ultimately to resurrection glory. It holds together the honesty of Lent (lament, struggle, waiting) and the hope o

Filling Our Hearts With Truth That Lasts There is no shortage of voices telling us who we should be, how we should feel, or what will finally make us whole. Every season of life brings its own pressures, questions, and distractions. And yet, Scripture reminds us again and again that lasting peace, identity, and strength are not found in self-help strategies or quick fixes—but in the unchanging truth of God’s Word. This February, our women’s ministry invites you into a deeper,

Our New Class of Ruling Elders We give thanks to God for the gift of leadership in our church and for the faithful men and women who have answered the call to serve as Ruling Elders at First Presbyterian Church of Eustis . In the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), Ruling Elders are elected by the congregation from among its members. Their election reflects the rich diversity of the body of Christ and affirms our shared commitment to participation, inclusion, prayerful discernment,

Loving Our Church into Tomorrow A gentle invitation to participate Our Session has agreed to have First Presbyterian Church of Eustis participate in a doctoral research project led by Rev. Shawn J. Smith , titled Loving Your Church into Tomorrow . This study is part of Shawn’s doctoral work through Asbury Theological Seminary and focuses on how congregations navigate, survive, and heal after seasons of trauma—such as the pandemic, leadership transitions, or prolonged tensio

Today we give thanks and celebrate the election of a new class of Ruling Elders for First Presbyterian Church of Eustis. Within the Presbyterian Church (USA) , Ruling Elders share in the ministry of spiritual leadership, discernment, and governance of the church. Alongside Teaching Elders, they help guide the life, mission, and witness of the congregation, always seeking to be faithful to Christ and attentive to the movement of the Holy Spirit. We are grateful for those who h

Come hear and experience the Nativity story as told in the Gospels, beautifully woven with both traditional and contemporary music. It’s a meaningful and memorable way to celebrate the birth of our Messiah! At 6:00 PM, enjoy a special music prelude in the Sanctuary . During this time, children are invited to join Pastor Mario (Gathering Place) and our team of volunteers for a hot cocoa bar and the reading of an original Christmas story created to spark their imagination and c

A week after Hurricane Melissa struck the Caribbean, the scale of destruction continues to unfold. According to independent reports, this storm — the strongest ever to make landfall in Jamaica and one of the most powerful Atlantic hurricanes in 25 years — left behind heartbreaking devastation. We give not because God is in control, but because God is in charge —leading us to act with compassion and faith. Melissa made landfall in southwestern Jamaica as a Category 5 hurrica
