About Us
 

The story of First Presbyterian Church is a story of lives that have been touched by the power of God's Spirit at work through Jesus Christ in the ministries of the church. That story is as rich and varied as are the hundreds of persons who have been part of the congregation since 1904.  To learn more about the history of this church family, click here.

As the church, we are capturing a vision of our future, namely to heed Jesus Christ's command "to make disciples of all people", on the road to becoming the church in a new and different way. 

We have decided that the best way to reach for this vision is to become a Six Great Ends congregation.  These are our defining values The Six Great Ends of the Church in a word are: evangelism, fellowship, worship, discipleship, ministry, and mission.

We are beginning to take these seriously in our life as God's people as we seek to grow together in God's Spirit, mature in God's grace, and join together to further God's work in this broken world by serving His Son, Jesus Christ.  Our doors are open to you.  Our hearts are open to you as we invite you and encourage you to join with us  on our ever-changing and always-fulfilling journey of faith.

 

A Visionary's Prayer

Almighty God, give me the vision of the church of Your dreams, and strengthen me to live the vision I see.  Through Jesus Christ our Lord.  AMEN!
