In this increasingly confused and chaotic world, First Church offers a quiet sanctuary for reflection, devotion, learning and service – a place to find your spiritual bearings, a place that strives to bring Christ’s shared affections to all of life.
When recently asked, our membership described First Church this way: “strong mission outreach,” “wonderful music,” “committed pastoral care” and “dedicated lay leadership.” Our ministries are indeed as rich and varied as is our membership.
We hope you will take the time to view our website carefully and that you might join us for worship. We will welcome you from the heart, even as we pray your experience amongst us is one of meaningful, hope-filled, Christ-centered love.

For adults, we hold the Brown Bag Bible Study, which meets every Tuesday from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. The first half-hour we share a meal as well as our lives together.
We then begin our lively, informative discussion of Scripture, a time of discovery as we unearth the often hidden (and often misunderstood) meanings of this foundational Church document.
All in all, we strive to make relevant the meaning of the Gospel not just in the classroom, but in worship as well as the everyday doings of our varied ministries
