First Presbyterian Church

What are services like?
Worship services are traditional, with hymns sung, prayers, music by choirs, and, of course, the reading of Scripture and preaching (the reading and proclamation of the Word.) Our goal is for the experience of worship to be a holy space where we are re-oriented to the ways of God, and equipped for living as God's people in the world.

What is the community like?
The church community includes the very old, newborns and all in between. There are many Sunday School classes for the old and the young. Visitors tell us we are warm and welcoming, which is how we think of ourselves, so it's good to hear that from others. Presbyterians are generally interested in education and continued learning. Mission and service projects are a focus of many of our members: - Middle school and senior high mission trips; - Habitat Builder (we build a new house each year); - Outreach to the working poor and the inmates in our community; - International mission projects, Bolivia and Haiti; - Making music as a singer, bell ringer or instrumentalist.

What if I'm not a Christian?
You are welcome whether you are a Christian or not. Our hope would be that after spending time with us you would find the idea of following Jesus appealing and would choose to join with us.
