The First Presbyterian Church of Siloam Springs is a member of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church (EPC). Our mission is to glorify God by participating with Him in the transformation of our lives, the community of believers, and the world. Our ideal candidate will have a heart for our community along with the requisite calling, capacity, and skills to lead a resilient and committed body of believers. The pastoral candidate will assume the lead position guiding and implementing God’s vision for the life of FPCSS.
