Our church is governed by its members, who commit to sharing faith and ministry together in this church and who elect leaders from among us each year to lead us in ministry and community.
Children Are Welcome
Please know that we love having children share in worship! We know kids often squirm or make noise in their seats, and that is more than okay. It’s a wonderful reminder that we are all children of God! We offer Sunday school and a nursery where children can receive special attention, lessons, and activities, but your child is also welcome to stay in the service if you wish. If they have any unique needs, please let us know so we can better serve your family.
Our Ministries
Our church has a passion for living out the gospel calling of Jesus Christ. For the youth, we offer Sunday school, youth group events, and music opportunities, and we are looking to add still more. We have a large variety of adult ministries as well, from Bible studies to social groups to seasonal events and activities. Our congregation also has a passion for serving others, and we offer a weekly Thursday soup kitchen, host a mobile homeless shelter in the winter, sponsor regular donation drives and special offerings, and provide personal caregiving for the needy through our deacons and health ministry teams. Finally, music is integral to our worship here at First Presbyterian, and our church maintains a choir and bell choir, while also providing special music during the summer months.
