Welcome to Davidson College Presbyterian Church. The best way to learn more about DCPC and its mission is through worship. Our regular services on Sunday are at 8:30 a.m. in Lingle Chapel and at 11 a.m. in the sanctuary. At either service you will be warmly welcomed.
Where ever you are in your journey of faith, we invite you to learn more about our community and to join us in the adventure of serving Christ.
Should you have any questions about the church, please do not hesitate to contact a church staff member.
Grace and peace,

Lent 2010:“Abiding in the Shelter of the Lord”
"You who live in the shelter of the Most High, who abide in the shadow of the Almighty, will say to the LORD, ‘My refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.’ (Psalm 91:1-2). These words call us to worship and reflection during the church’s penitential season. Lent began on Feb. 17 with our Ash Wednesday worship, a ritual which reminded us of God’s faithfulness to us in our mortality.DCPC's Lenten programs will continue through February and March, culminating in our Holy Week services celebrating Christ's death and resurrection.

Alternative Lenten Worship Services
For six Saturdays during Lent, February 20-March 27, DCPC offers an alternative worship service on Saturday nights at 5 p.m. in Lingle Chapel.These will have a similar structure to our Sunday worship, but with contemporary music blended into the services, and old hymns sung in new ways. Services are bulletin-free, with all scriptures, liturgies, and songs projected onto a screen. Saturday and Sunday Lenten services will explore the same theme, "Abiding in the Shelter of the Lord," and be based upon the same lectionary passages, reminding us of our connection to the world outside our doors. As with all worship services at DCPC, this is a family-friendly service, though child care will be available for those kindergarten and younger.
