What to expect

 Worship is central to the life of First Presbyterian Church. With great joy and thanksgiving the strengths of traditional worship and the concerns of the present are woven together. This offering both celebrates our relationship with God and renews our ability to live as Christians in an often challenging world.

As people who stand in the Reformed tradition, the members of First Presbyterian Church recognize that the journey of faith is a life-long struggle and seek to pursue, announce, personify, and practice the Good News of reconciliation and grace in Jesus Christ.  Founded in 1842, First Presbyterian welcomes all who are continually being formed and reformed into disciples of Jesus Christ. We value a rich tradition of worship, Christian education and nurture, and ministries of caring and compassion.

The worship life of the church is traditional, Presbyterian, and Reformed following the pattern set forth in the Directory for Worship and the Book of Common Worship. A worshipful atmosphere and classical church music proclaim the sovereignty of God, the authority of scripture, and the liberating grace of Jesus Christ.
