As a welcoming, serving congregation, we try to share God’s grace through education, fellowship, music and inclusive, embracing outreach ministries to those in personal or spiritual need.  Our worship focuses on the challenges of contemporary life and faith as we seek to know and follow Jesus Christ.

Beneath our similarities, First Presbyterian members express and respect a diversity of approaches to faith.  Most are seekers, confident in our beliefs but open to new revelations and deeper levels of spirituality.

All persons—regardless of age, gender, ethnic background, national origin, sexual orientation, religious experience or physical ability—are welcome at First Presbyterian Church.  We hope you will come to know us as a loving, accepting congregation that is dedicated both to speaking the truth about God and ourselves, and to doing God’s work in the world.
