Our Vision

Our Vision Statement was adopted in 2005 after several months of careful and prayerful reflection by our pastors, our staff, and our Session. It expresses in words the passionate heart of where we believe we are called to go as a church in the upcoming years.

As we worship together, build relationships, and grow in our life in Christ, we become better equipped to live out our faith in the world. We exercise our vision through a community practice called "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 many different forms of service and ministry happening at First Pres; please explore our website or look through our Connecting Brochure to see what God might have in store for you.
