First Presbyterian Church Faisalabad Since 1902
Rev. Emric Joseph (Senior Pastor)
Church History
First Presbyterian Church, Railway Road, Faisalabad erected in
1902, just after the city of Faisalabad Lyallpur was built.
Sir. James Loyal, the then governor of Punjab designed the
layout of the streets of the Faisalabad in the shape of British
flag, The Union Jack. Local landlords, merchants and laborers
quickly inhabited the city.
Increasing agricultural, industrial and labor opportunities
attracted a large influx of people from different parts of
Punjab. Likewise a significant number from the Christian
community migrated in to the city to work in government and
private sector.
The city now is the third largest city of Pakistan with more
then 3.5 million of population and is known for its textile
industry. First Presbyterian Church was built to meet the needs
of worship and fellowship of both the community living in the
city and also of those living in the adjoining rural areas.
Nowadays this is the fastest growing Church the number has grown
by 600% during the last 3 years.
