How do you make a big church like First Church feel small? Get connected!
Get to know the people at the church and find your own special place to serve God by learning more about our ministries.
We exist to help people find their way home and become grace-centered, servant-minded and outward-focused. Every single penny given goes directly to impacting and rescuing people. Weekly, life-change is happening in small groups across our area. Our Big Give takes a different need every month and meets it, no matter how big or small.
Our First Church Care Ministry partners with countless families providing meals and counseling. Thousands of children and students are being poured into every month in hopes of creating and fostering ambassadors of Christ in this generation – and these are just a few examples of how we’re partnering with people. We don’t just talk about rescuing people, we’re living this out.
