First Presbyterian Church of Edmond celebrates remodeling

First Presbyterian Church of Edmond held a ribbon cutting with the Edmond Area Chamber of Commerce to celebrate their remodel at 1001 S Rankin St.

After months of renovation and transformation, First Presbyterian Church of Edmond invited the entire community to celebrate a new season of ministry with a special Pentecost Celebration held earlier this month.

This joyful event marked the unveiling of the church’s stunning new gathering lobby, courtyard fountain, performance stage, and community coffee space, all designed to create a more open, inviting, and prayer-centered environment.

“We want this space to feel like home—not just for our members, but for anyone in Edmond who needs a place to belong,” said Pastor Eric Laverentz.

“My house shall be called a house of prayer for all people.” – Isaiah 56:7

The celebration began with worship early in the day and was followed up by a ribbon-cutting ceremony and outdoor community event right before noon..

What’s New:

The renovation was designed with the entire community in mind — creating spaces where people can connect, reflect, and feel welcome. The church’s entryway has been completely reimagined with open, comfortable gathering areas, a new coffee bar, and a beautiful history wall that honors First Pres’ 75 years of ministry in Edmond. Beloved stained-glass windows were carefully preserved and repositioned as part of the new design, allowing their beauty to shine in refreshed surroundings. Updated lighting, restrooms, and outdoor walkways now make the campus more accessible and inviting for all.
