Looking for relationships?
Could you use some space in your life?
Need answers to your questions – or just
better questions to ask?
Want to connect with God?
I’m not sure why you
decided to click on to our web site, but I’m glad you did. First
Presbyterian Church is a place where relationships grow. It’s a church in
which people of all ages can find the space to be still and connect with a
God who is alive and active. And here at FPC we are encouraged to wrestle
with some very important questions:
“Why am I here?”
“What’s my purpose?”
“How can I find meaning?”
“Is there a way to know and live out the
Truth?”
I want to invite you to explore our web site
and learn about our ministries and staff. Although I’ve only been the
pastor of FPC since the fall of 2005, I can assure you this is a wonderful
church family with committed and gifted leaders. These folks take the call
of Christ seriously, without taking themselves too seriously. We are warm,
sincere, and passionate about being faithful to God's purposes. We are
committed to doing the kind of ministry that touches real lives in real
ways. We'd love to invite you to be a part of what God is doing here with
the hope that you can find a family of faith to belong to. We look forward
to meeting you in person and would be happy to help you if you have any
further questions.
In June and July we are
going to take a good look at prayer. Prayer can take many shapes and forms
and encompasses a wide-range of practices. Jesus tried to get us to the
heart of prayer in Matthew 6:5-13, and that's where we'll start. After
laying that foundation, we'll look throughout the Bible to find (and
practice) the many ways to have a conversation with God. We can wrestle
with God, listen to God, cry out to God, celebrate with God, and simply ask
things of God. Unfortunately for a lot of us, they didn't teach us this in
Sunday School. For many folks, prayer is a very quiet, tame, polite,
organized and "proper" thing that we do with our heads bowed, our hands
folded, and our eyes closed. Come and discover with us that prayer is so
much more.
We have three unique worship experiences being offered:
8:00 am -- "Simply Traditional"
9:15 am -- Contemporary
11:00 am -- Traditional
Please check out the specifics of each by
clicking on 'worship services'
in the left column.
Thanks for checking us out. I hope to meet you in person soon.
Pastor Tom Hansen
