Care & Prayer
You Are Not Alone
There are seasons when life feels full of uncertainty, grief, change, or questions we don’t know how to answer. In those moments, it can make all the difference to have people who listen, pray, show up, and walk alongside you. That’s what we offer one another at First Presbyterian Church of Austin.
Prayer Requests
Let Us Pray With You
Please let us know how we can support and pray for you and your loved ones. All prayers and all people are welcome here.
Whether you’re facing a difficult season, celebrating something joyful, or simply want to place a concern in the hands of your church community, please share a prayer request. Our congregation and pastoral staff are honored to pray with and for you.

Pastoral Care
Care in the Moments That Matter
Sometimes we need more than a prayer. Our pastoral staff and congregation are here to offer care and companionship through the real circumstances of life, including serious illness, hospitalization, grief, loss, and major life transitions.
Our pastors, parish associates, and deacons provide visits, conversation, prayer, and practical support when you need it. They also serve communion to people who are homebound through our “Farthest Pew” program. If a pastoral emergency arises outside regular office hours, our office phone includes a pastoral emergencies option so you can reach someone for care.
You don’t have to know exactly what you need before reaching out. We’re here to listen, pray, and walk alongside you.
Ongoing Care & Support
Finding Support for the Journey
Care doesn’t always happen in a single conversation. First Presbyterian Church of Austin provides connections to ongoing opportunities for support, reflection, and healing, both within our congregation and through organizations that use our campus.
Our campus hosts community grief support groups as well as numerous recovery groups, providing welcoming spaces where people can find connection and support through challenging seasons. We can also help connect you with appropriate resources and referrals when additional support is needed.
