Other Information
First Church warmly greets Sunday visitors. We are a vibrant, accepting congregation that welcomes all who seek God, inclusive of age, race, education, economic status, sexual orientation, gender identity and special needs.
We mean all of that! As a Reconciling Congregation, we affirm and fully embrace LGBTQIA+ persons and support the work of the Reconciling Ministries Network.
First Church has set an ambitious goal that embraces “transformative faith” and charts a course so that we will follow the example of Jesus’ courageous love. All persons, regardless of membership status, are invited and encouraged to participate in worship, get involved as a volunteer in a ministry area, participate in a group, and/or engage in a class or Bible study. The church needs all of us, together.
