Worship at First Presbyterian Church

What are worship services like?

Our Reformed tradition is one in which we acknowledge and respond to the glory and power of the triune God present in the world and in our lives. In general, worship contains prayer, music, scripture, preaching, sacraments, offering, and sharing of community joys and concerns. Our worship seeks to be authentic, theological, relevant, global, inclusive, transcendant, and transformational.

Children are encouraged to be a part of worship but are also welcome in our newly renovated nursery. For families who choose to worship together, worship bags are available right before you enter the sanctuary that contain activities for children to do in the pews and typically relate to the theme being discussed during the service.

We have a worship service at 8:00 a.m. and at 10:30 a.m. each Sunday. Ushers will provide you with a bulletin outlining the order of events for that day's service. Ushers can also help seat you if needed. Assisted listening devices and large print bulletins and hymnals are available. We invite you to join us for coffee and fellowship after each service in our fellowship hall. We'd love to meet you! 

Do you, or someone you know, need a ride to Sunday worship services or special events?

Transportation assistance is available for the 10:30 a.m. Sunday worship service. If you need a ride, please call the church office at 351-2660, let us know when and where to pick you up, and one of our drivers will contact you and provide a ride to church. At the conclusion of the service, your driver will meet you at the main entrance and provide transportation to your home. Please call during the week so that arrangements can be made.

If you drive to the 10:30 a.m. Sunday worship, but find the hill in the parking lot difficult, the weather isn’t cooperative, or you just could use a helping hand, valet service is provided for the 10:30 a.m. worship service and special services (Easter Vigil, Christmas Eve). Just stop at the main entrance where you will be greeted, and one of our valet attendants will park your car. After the service, your vehicle will be returned to you at the main entrance. Valet parking begins approximately 25 minutes prior to the service.
