We’ve been around for a while – our foundations have been in place for over 75 years. But instead of being irrelevant, cold and stale, we’re growing in new and dynamic ways. We invite you to be a part of that new growth. We can offer you a place to find your niche, to grow in faith, to experience the living Christ, and maybe hear God call your name too.

 

From Floyd & Gail W.:
     We joined First Presbyterian Church in the mid-sixties. Back then, there were no young people and no youth program at the church. We went to the Methodist church in the mid-seventies for about five years. Our children were active in the youth there. We came back after the children went away to school. We like a small church. We like knowing the church family.

 

From Mary Lou & Sam L.:
     We have been with the church around ten years now, a little longer if you consider the time we spent as visitors before we joined.
     We were originally introduced to the Church through the Vacation Bible Schools that our sons attended. We then started coming as regular visitors. What drew us to the Church was its warm, welcoming congregation, it was small and you couldn't get lost in the crowd.
     The real strength of the Church in the early days was a group of members that were determined to make the Church work, despite the problems that seemed to crop up regularly.
     What we like about the Church is what attracted us in the first place. Warm welcoming atmosphere, people dedicated to make things work despite the problems we encounter and the fact that it is a small enough Congregation to know everyone on a first name basis.

 

 

 

 

From Calotta & Allan E.:
     After visiting First Presbyterian Church for several months, we transferred our membership in August, 1998. Our decision was made after Allan was diagnosed with myasthenia gravis and had cancer surgery. It was during that time that we were overwhelmed by the compassion, prayers, visits, cards and concern of the church family of which we were not even officially a part. We truly feel this is where God wants us to be, serving Him.

 

 

From Bill & Linda M.:
     We became a member of First Presbyterian Church in 1991. The people were so friendly and two ladies even came to our house to bring us a loaf of bread. We really felt like we were included in the activities of the congregation. I think what we still like best about the church is the people. First Presbyterian Church has become like an extended family to us.
     We need to build a new sanctuary for two reasons. The primary reason is for more space. As our congregation continues to grow, we need to be able to accommodate more people. Secondly, a "contemporary" building would attract more of the people who are looking for a church home.
