October is Pastor Appreciation Month!  Our pastor is key to this church’s future, in terms of growth, discipleship evangelism, and social concerns.  It is also the perfect time to commit to praying for and encouraging Pastor Bobby on a regular basis.  God's word calls us to support our pastor. And now, friends, we ask you to honor those leaders who work so hard for you, who have been given the responsibility of urging and guiding you along in your obedience. Overwhelm them with appreciation and love. 1 Thessalonians 5:12-13

Presbyterians affirm that God comes to us with grace and love in the person of Jesus Christ, who lived, died, and rose for us so that we might belong to God and serve Christ in the world. God sends the Holy Spirit to dwell within us, giving us the energy, intelligence, imagination, and love to be Christ’s faithful disciples in the world.
First Presbyterian Church is a place where people can meet Jesus, engage in a life-giving community, and everyone is welcome.  Our mission is to Worship God, Love People, and Grow Disciples.  Our hope is that you will find a family of faith where you will grow in your faith and use your gifts to the glory of God to worship Him, love people and grow disciples.
