Life at First Presbyterian, in pictures

Milestones, Sunday mornings, potlucks, service projects, and 140 years of showing up for Colby — a look at our church family, in its own words and its own photos.

Milestones & Sacraments

The moments that mark a life of faith

Bible gifts, birthdays, baptisms in spirit, and the everyday fellowship of a church family — a few of the moments we've been glad to capture.

Inside Our Sanctuary

A closer look at our stained glass

A short look inside our 1923 Romanesque sanctuary — and the stained glass that fills it with color on a Sunday morning.

Worship at Lake Atwood

Outdoor worship, once a year

Each September, we join our sister congregation Hoxie Presbyterian Church for outdoor worship at Lake Atwood in Rawlins County — a change of scenery, and a shared tradition.

Common Grounds

Nourishing CCC students, one brownie at a time

We always enjoy seeing them at our monthly Common Grounds — homemade treats and a warm welcome, right on the Colby Community College campus.

Valentine's Day

Church celebrates Valentine's with all

Every member of the congregation receives a Valentine's gift bag each February — a small tradition, a big smile.

Fellowship

Monthly birthday celebrations

Cake, conversation, and one more excuse to gather — our fellowship hall, doing what it does best.

Easter

Kids have fun with Easter egg hunting

A springtime favorite for our youngest members — baskets, bright colors, and plenty of giggling.

Holy Week

Easter cross decoration in the sanctuary

Serving Our Grounds

Members serving: landscaping & yard cleanup

Our members are super awesome and service-minded — keeping our 1923 building and grounds cared for, inside and out.

Colby Community College

Hosting CCC Athletics

We're glad to open our doors to CCC's student-athletes — supper, fellowship, and a warm welcome for both the Men's and Women's Basketball teams.

Church Women United

A cultural exchange

The Church Women United cultural exchange with Colby Community College international students from Mongolia, Burundi, Kenya, South Sudan, and Liberia.
A Little Trip Down Memory Lane

140 years strong, and counting

The actual sign-up flyer from that 2016 trip — still in our files.

Our very own Connie Davis volunteered to organize and provide round-trip transportation, taking Colby Community College's out-of-state and international students to visit the Monument Rocks on a weekend during their time in college — back in 2016. First Presbyterian Colby has been showing up proactively for well over a century, and we continue to recognize both the spiritual and social needs of our members and our community.

“Come and join our church family, just as you are, and become a part of something bigger.”

Our ministries don't end on Sunday alone — they're alive, felt, and continue to meet people where they are in their individual life journeys. 140 years strong, and counting.
