First Presbyterian Church

Who we are

First Presbyterian Church is a downtown congregation that invites you to know Jesus and follow Him in everyday life. The church belongs to ECO, a movement that emphasizes biblical preaching, historic confessions, and mission. You will find both traditional and modern expressions of worship across the campus. The aim stays the same. Open the Bible. Exalt Christ. Send people to love the city and the world. If you grew up Presbyterian, you will recognize key practices. If you are new to church, you will receive a clear path to start and grow.

On Sundays the church gathers in spaces that fit the service style. Choirs, bands, and ensembles serve to support congregational singing. Messages are rooted in Scripture and connect with work, relationships, and decisions that shape your week. Children and students have safe, engaging programs. Adults find classes, small groups, and mentoring. Pastors and elders care for members through prayer, hospital visits, and practical help. The church partners with local schools, agencies, and global missionaries. You can step in through simple acts of service and learn as you go.

During the week, First Presbyterian opens the campus for studies, support groups, and community events. If you want to explore faith at your own pace, begin with a newcomer gathering or a short class that introduces the church’s beliefs and ministries. If you want to serve, the team will help you match your gifts with a need in the church or city. You will not be rushed. You will be encouraged to take steady steps that build a durable life with God and people.
