Welcome! We are glad you have decided to check out First Presbyterian Church. We hope you will feel comfortable and welcomed.
Join Us on Sunday!
Our worship service begins at 10:15 am on Sundays in the sanctuary, or on Facebook and YouTube, and lasts about an hour.
There is plenty of parking with visitor and handicapped spaces available. There are no steps to navigate. If you are riding your bike to church we have a bike rack near the main entrance on the south side of the church.
We have greeters and ushers on hand to direct you to the sanctuary and answer any questions you may have.
The service is fairly traditional in its liturgy and hymns, while at the same time incorporates variations and creativity in our worship and music. Communion is celebrated during worship on the first Sunday of the month. Everyone is invited to partake.
We welcome children, their voices, and their wiggles in the sanctuary. We believe that children learn about worship by participating!
There is a children’s message during worship where the children come to the front of the sanctuary to hear about the scripture for the day’s sermon. Worship bags with age-appropriate activities are available at the sanctuary entrance.
If you prefer, a nursery is available for Infants to 5 year-olds, staffed by professional childcare workers and church volunteers, from 9:00–11:30 am. – There is also a “cry room” next to the sanctuary with comfortable rockers where adults can still see and hear the worship service.
After the worship service, join us for refreshments in the Welcome Hall, where you will find a warm welcome.
Adult Sunday School meets at 9:00 am in the church library.
Ministry with Children Children’s Church is Faith Formation for children aged 3-2nd grade. Children’s Church meets directly after the Children’s Message during worship most Sundays. On the first Sunday of the month, Children’s Church does not meet, so that everyone can take part in the communion service.
J St. Kids is Faith Formation for children in K-6th grade and meets before worship on Sundays from 8:45AM-10AM throughout the school year.
Nursery care opens at 9AM Sunday mornings for children up to age 5.
