Our congregation is passionate about transforming our culture and city with the love and gospel of Jesus Christ. We believe that we see Christ most clearly in the faces of those whom we serve. From the hungry and thirsty, to the stranger, those sick and those in prison, we claim the promise of the King: "Just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me" (Matthew 25:40).
First Presbyterian Church is also committed to making a global impact for Christ and His Kingdom. Through partnerships with missionaries and mission organizations in Nicaragua and Kenya, FPC is sharing the gospel and addressing the great challenges of our world; extreme poverty, disease, clean water, HIV/AIDS, etc.
We are passionate about incarnational, relational ministry, and therefore place a strong emphasis on hands-on work by our congregation through regular mission trips and mission placements at home and abroad.
