First Presbyterian Church History
Our History
The Reverends Robert Nail and Andrew Pickens Smith of the Board of Home Missions, Southern Presbyterian Church, presided at the organization of the church on March 11, 1894.
Beginning worship services were held at the Baptist Church until 1896 when a one room chapel was completed. This structure is still part of the present facility. In 1928 the congregation ws transferred to El Paso Presbytery of the Northern Branch of the Presbyterian Church.
The present structure was built in 1957 with the addition of the Christian Education Unit. We are currently doing a revitalization of our property with some interior remodeling and landscaping.
First Presbyterian Church has 181 members, including people of all age groups. It is a church that has always been active in mission projects in service to the needs of the people in Carlsbad and around the world.

I ask for...
I ask you neither for health nor for sickness, for life nor for death; but that you may dispose of my health and my sickness, my life and my death, for your glory... You alone know what is expedient for me; you are the sovereign master, do with me according to your will. Give to me, or take away from me, only conform my will to yours. I know but one thing, Lord, that it is good to follow you, and bad to offend you. Apart from that, I know not what is good or bad in anything. I know not which is most profitable to me, health or sickness, wealth or poverty, nor anything else in the world. That discernment is beyond the power of men or angels, and is hidden among the secrets of your providence, which I adore, but do not seek to fathom.
