We have all experienced the uncertainty of visiting a church for the first time. And while we've tried to answer some of the most common questions here, please remember - there is no better way to get to know us than to actually join us on a Sunday morning.
When Is Sunday Worship?
Worship services are held on Sundays at 10:30 am except for the 3rd Sunday of the month.
On the 3rd Sunday of the month we have our Jazz Sanctuary worship service at 2:30 pm. There is no Sunday morning service on this day.
We suggest you arrive approximately 10 minutes early to give you time to park and find a seat.

What Should I Wear?
We invite you to wear whatever feels right for you. You'll notice that on any given Sunday some people dress a little more formally while others prefer much more casual clothing.

Will Someone Greet Me When I Arrive?
Yes! It doesn't matter if you've been coming to First Church for decades or this is your first visit - we always have a family, couple or individual who is there to say hello to everyone who visits the church.

What Can I Expect?
A traditional, but not formal mixture of scripture, preaching, music, and prayer. Communion is offered to all every Sunday and occasionally we have special services including baptisms and new member services. Before entering the sanctuary, our ushers will give you a bulletin which includes that Sundays' "order of service" as well as announcements and an upcoming calendar of events.

We are an "elder-rich" congregation and at this time we don't offer any children's programs or a children's message during the worship service.
