At FPC, we go "all in" on this conviction:

God works with power by His Spirit through His Word for His glory to give, renew and sustain the life of His people.

That explains why corporate worship - where God gathers His people to speak to them through His Word proclaimed - is the heart of our life together at First Pres.  Sundays 10:45 AM.

What is our worship like?

The LORD gathers His people to renew them through His Word for His glory.  That sentence provides the structure for our worship together, which includes prayers, songs, corporate confession of the Faith, private and corporate confession of sin, offerings to God and the Word proclaimed in the sermon.

But is it contemporary or traditional?

"Yes."  You'll find elements of both.  Our conviction is that worship is not about personal preferences and styles.  Neither is it about songs that match what you have on your ipod or the pre-set dials of your car radio (since, after all, worship is not about you or me, but about God and His glory).  We seek to have music that, whatever the style, is both God-centered in content and excellent in quality so that it gives glory to God.  Some weeks you'll hear a choir and an organ, other weeks a college student and a guitar, and still others both. The common thread, we hope and pray, is that whether or not each and every song is our personal favorite, we all will say, "That gives glory to God and so, it aids in worship."

We celebrate the Lord's Supper on the 1st Sunday of every month.
