Our life at First Presbyterian Church is rich with our mission to love God and love others. We readily admit we haven’t perfected our mission – far from it! We know that we are a collection of regular human beings with all our human frailty. BUT, we genuinely want to grow in love and recognize that in our life together we are always being given opportunities to learn about and grow in the love God wants us to show for him, for one another and for the world we live in. We find that challenging and satisfying, especially knowing that Jesus is in our midst helping us to accomplish our bold mission to love. Here’s how we like to state the mission we are growing in:

To be the LOVING COMMUNITY of Jesus Christ that will…

WIN new followers of Christ to saving faith

GROW all followers to deeper faith

GO into the world and demonstrate faith

We would love to welcome you to come join with us, to bring all that you are and be part of the adventure we are on figuring out just what this rich life of loving and caring looks like.

In life and in death we belong to God. Through the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit, we trust in the one triune God, the Holy One of Israel, whom alone we worship and serve. We trust in Jesus Christ, Fully human, fully God. Jesus proclaimed the reign of God: preaching good news to the poor and release to the captives, teaching by word and deed and blessing the children, healing the sick and binding up the brokenhearted, eating with outcasts, forgiving sinners, and calling all to repent and believe the gospel. Unjustly condemned for blasphemy and sedition, Jesus was crucified, suffering the depths of human pain and giving his life for the sins of the world. God raised Jesus from the dead, vindicating his sinless life, breaking the power of sin and evil, delivering us from death to life eternal. We trust in God, whom Jesus called Abba, Father. In sovereign love God created the world good and makes everyone equally in God’s image male and female, of every race and people, to live as one community. But we rebel against God; we hide from our Creator.
