What type of service do you have ?

  •  We have a blended style of worship that includes elements of a traditional order of worship such as s hymns, responsive readings, Scripture readings, prayers, sharing joys and concerns, and a sermon. We sing some hymns from a 1986 hymnal published by WORD Music entitled ?The Hymnal for Worship & Celebration which includes some old favorites as well as hymns for praise and worship accompanied by the organ and other instruments. We also sing some more contemporary songs accompanied by a band including drums, guitars, and keyboard. Songs include both popular Christian hits and congregational favorites.  We now worship together at 10am. Worship Alive! is an exciting format that combines many worship styles.

What do you have for children and youth ?

  • First Presbyterian offers a Sunday School for children of all ages. For kids preschool through 5th grade, we use a curriculum called Bible Quest, an ecumenical curriculum designed to help kids connect with the Bible in such a way that it relates to their lives and life experiences. It illustrates to participants how to live in the world as disciples of Jesus Christ. Our students experience the Bible story through storytelling, drama, music and art. They share their understanding of the story with others and hear how others interpret the story. Then they affirm together their new understandings of the story and celebrate God's presence. This curriculum is designed to give our students a solid biblical foundation. Our children also enjoy Vacation Bible School each summer.

    Our youth in grades 6-12 meet on Sunday mornings for topical and current events-based Bible Study. The youth meet for "Fusion" at 3-5 each Sunday night. They have games and recreation, times of fellowship and support, Bible study, discussion on current topics, and mission activities.

    We also provide a nursery for all church events, including worship. Our workers undergo background checks, having training in first aid and CPR, and love children.
