The purpose of the First Presbyterian Church is to share with others the good news of Christ, to develop spiritually in love and knowledge of Jesus Christ, to expand in service to the community, to nuture and care for membersand non-members, and to enable members to be disciples of Christ in their everyday living.
 
 
 
 
 
 

To this end, we enthusiastically continue to support other Christian ministries such as Habitat for Humanity, reach out to the community through our nursing home visitation, food pantry, Sunday School and Worship.  The church building also houses a nursery school and serves as a meeting place for several community groups.
 
 
 
 
 

Our congregation is a Stephen Ministry Congregation. Our Stephen Ministers provide confidential one-on-one Christian care for individuals needing support under a wide variety of circumstances. It is communication-based and is available to church members and the community at large.
 
 
 

Our Youth Director maintains an active program for children of all ages. Activities include a strong Sunday School curriculum, children's sermons within adult worship, seasonal events, mission trips and participation in youth conferences. For the past 13 summers our Senior and Junior Highs have gone on a supervised week-long canoe trip with the pastor and/or youth director.
 
 
 
 

Several Women's Groups meet monthy. The Presbytery-wide women's weekend retreat each year is a highlight on the church calendar. The popular Men's Breakfast Group gathers early atthe church once a month to worship, hear a speaker and share a meal. Our Adult Education Committee presents mini-courses on Christian issues each Sunday during the Christian Education hour.  Two Study with Pastor groups are held during the week.
 
 

The congregation of First Presbyterian Church is appreciative of a strong music program.  Our enthusiastic Sanctuary Choir sings September through June. The Youth Choir and Cherub Choir rehearse weekly between services and sing monthly during the second service and for special events. Members of all ages who play musical instruments are often invited to participate in Sunday services.
