About First Presbyterian

Our Church Family
We are a curious, inclusive, and diverse gathering of imperfect people united by our common hope in Jesus Christ. Through worship, study, and service we seek to know and show the transformative love of God found in the pages of scripture and revealed in the person of Jesus. No matter who you are or where you are on your spiritual journey, know that you are welcome here.    
Life at First Presbyterian

Sunday Worship

We invite you to join us if you are looking for a church home or a community to help strengthen your spiritual journey.

Our live in-person worship services take place each Sunday with contemporary worship service in the Fellowship Hall at 9:00 a.m. and an 11:00 a.m. traditional service in the sanctuary.

Please note: During June and July there will be one service at 10:00 a.m. In June, join us in the sanctuary. For July services, please join us in the Fellowship Hall.

All are welcome!

“…so we, who are many, are one body in Christ…” 
Romans 12:5 (NRSV)

Serve

We believe the surest way to love and serve God is through loving and serving others. To that end, we have plenty of opportunities for you to find a place, and a people, to serve.
Opportunities to serve your community

“...let us love, not in word or speech, but in truth and action.”
1 John 3:18 (NRSV)

Give

The scriptures teach that life isn’t measured by what you get. It is measured by what you give. Your generous financial support of our ministries is more than just a blessing to others. It is also a blessing to you.
