About Us
Our Worship
When you visit First Presbyterian, you will be our respected and welcomed guest. You won’t be singled out, asked to stand before the congregation, or to come forward. Our Sunday worship is a fairly traditional Presbyterian service with hymns and prayers, music and simple liturgy, and a sermon. Communion is celebrated every first Sunday. Worship begins each Sunday at 10:30 a.m.
