What people say about First Presbyterian Church

  • I have been coming to this church for 14 years and enjoy the people and the service.

  • I started going here because a friend recommended their children's program. That was four years ago and our family has been blessed ever since. The children's director, Mrs. Carol, brings a breadth of experience that excites me as a parent and stretches our daughter on her faith walk. We are challenged by Pastor Jeff's sermons and are truly blessed by community worship led by Marsha Skidmore and her team. They have plenty of opportunities to help others both in the community and on short-term missions. It has been the kind of place where you WANT to help because the staff works so hard and you can see the love of Jesus played out through the care of those involved. A couple years ago we stepped out of our comfort zone and joined a G-Group (small group) which has helped my husband and I grow closer to one another and to Christ. We highly recommend the church on so many levels.
