First Presbyterian Church offers a variety of worship and enrichment opportunities ranging from traditional Sunday morning services to more intimate Bible studies. Additionally, we host a series of music concerts and offer members a chance to use their own talents to contribute to the worship experience.
First Presbyterian strives to be a caring congregation where our members and staff respond to those experiencing illness, loss, crisis and life issues and transitions. Our fellowship gatherings and small group ministries enhance the caring bonds of Christian friendship.
The outward focus on service and missions is a major priority at First Presbyterian. Our members have opportunities to give to those in need by serving within the community and beyond through our global programs.
Children are our most precious resource and are the future of our church. There are a multitude of programs available for children from the infant nursery to youth and college age activities.
