Family Promise of Gaston County assists homeless families as they achieve lasting independence by providing safe shelter, meals, day care and support services for these families designed to address the underlying causes of homelessness. Through a unique partnership with diverse communities of faith like First Presbyterian, Gaston Family Promise provides emergency shelter, meals and supportive services to homeless Gaston County families.

First Presbyterian Church is honored to host Gaston Family Promise four times a year. Our next opportunity to host at FPC will be January 12, 2020 thru January 19, 2020. 

On January 13, 2020, Celeste Crowe will join the staff of First Presbyterian Church as our Communications Director. Originally from McDonough, GA, Celeste is a recent graduate of LaGrange College with a BA in Art and Design and minor studies in Art History and Servant Leadership (and by-the-way, she was first in her class).

Her talents and interests include research, art history, fine arts, pottery, graphic design, writing, and website management.  She has technical skills in Microsoft Office, Adobe Flash, In Design and Photoshop. Celeste held numerous leadership positions at LaGrange College and First Presbyterian Church LaGrange, and she established the UKIRK (PC USA) Campus Ministry at LaGrange College.
