Welcome to First Presby!
Visiting a church for the first time can be intimidating. Will I fit in? Is this a place where I can connect with God?
At First Presby, EVERYONE is welcome! We want your experience to be as friendly and inviting as possible.
What should I wear?
Many times people feel pressured to dress a certain way when attending church. Here at First Presby, there is no dress code! From casual to Sunday best, we encourage you to come as you are and in whatever makes you comfortable.
What about Children?
Children are always welcome in worship at First Presby! Each Sunday, we have Time with Children where children are invited to come to the front of the sanctuary for a special message prepared just for them. After Time with Children, grades K-5 can be taken to Room 117 for Children’s Church. We also offer childcare during worship for infants and toddlers (room 114). During the school year, we offer a Wednesday night program called LOGOS that allows children to fellowship and grow in their faith through Bible study, worship, recreation and a shared meal.
Do you need prayer?
There are several ways to request prayer. 1) You may call the church office and ask to be placed on our Prayer Guide. This list is mentioned during worship service and reviewed during weekly church meetings. The staff and deacons will also pray for you. 2) You may also write your request on a prayer card found in the pews. These can be placed in the offering plate when completed.
