Serve @ First Pres

Nursery Teachers

Use your unique talents and gifts to serve at First Pres! As part of our community practice of “Worship+2,” all members and regular attenders are invited to be part of worship plus two other First Pres ministries, one for growth and fellowship, and one for mission and service. There are service opportunities available in almost every ministry area; we hope you'll take the step to find the one that is right for you.
