What to Expect
We look forward to meeting you.
Welcome to First Pres
We’re blessed to be a worshiping body of believers with diverse worship expressions and traditions. In all our services, we aim to exalt God, to draw closer to him, and to be sent out in our city and world with the good news that Christ is Lord. We'd love for you to fill out a virtual Connect Card so we can connect you with ministries at the church. After a service, come introduce yourself to one of our ushers, greeters, or pastors. Between the services, we have a fellowship time in Lynn Hall. Stop by, we’d love to meet you!
During our Sunday morning worship services, we offer nursery and children's ministry. Of course, children are always welcome to remain in worship with their families, too.
9:00 a.m. Worship Service
Sunday Morning | 9:00 a.m.
Chapel
Our contemporary worship service focuses on coming into the presence of God in a more casual, contemporary posture while still honoring our liturgical roots. We’re led in passionate songs of praise and enjoy close-knit fellowship and Biblical teaching. Nursery and Impact are available for your children.
Discipleship Hour
Sunday Morning | 10:10 a.m. - 11:00 a.m.
We have discipleship opportunities for all ages on Sunday mornings. Please see the full list of opportunities here.
11:10 a.m. Worship Service
Sunday Morning | 11:10 a.m.
Sanctuary
Our traditional liturgical services provides our church family with the opportunity to corporately confess our sins, receive and offer forgiveness, pray together, and receive the sacraments. We sing traditional hymns together, led by a heart-filled choir, talented musicians, and a towering organ. Nursery and Impact are available for your children.
Come to the Quiet
Wednesday Morning | 7:30 a.m. (Starts August 21)
Chapel
All of us can be swept up in the busyness of our weeks and can lose our focus on God and his call to enjoy him. That’s why we take a moment to be still in God’s presence Wednesday mornings at Come to the Quiet, a 30-minute service of music and prayer. Check our events page to see when the next one is scheduled.
The Rest of the Week
Outside of worship services, there's so much more to know about our church family and we'd love to connect with you in-person.
Baptisms, Weddings and Funerals
Walking with one another through some of life's most sacred moments, whether joyful or sorrowful, is a key part of our journey together and an important part of our ministry as a church. Please contact our worship coordinator Joyce Mendoza ( ) to learn more about scheduling a baptism, wedding or funeral.
Care and Counseling
Pastoral Counseling
Whether you're interested in baptism, preparing for marriage, grappling with big questions about faith and life or simply just need someone to talk to, our pastors are always available to meet with you for pastoral counseling. Feel free to reach out directly to one of them or contact Joyce Mendoza ( ) to set up a first appointment.
Stephen Ministry
Our Stephen Ministry pairs trained, caring brothers and sisters in Christ from First Presbyterian with those who need support. They are especially ready to come alongside you when you need care most, in grief, depression, anxiety, illness, and more. Stephen Ministers are companions for your Christian walk, ready to listen and, with humility, help you discern your next steps. Each Stephen Minister is trained in pastoral care as well as confidentiality, the cornerstones of healthy spiritual care.
