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.
I’ve been
the pastor of FPC since 2005 and can assure you this is a wonderful
church family with committed and gifted leaders. We take the call
of Christ seriously, without taking ourselves 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.
And just so you know, we
don’t have it all together here at FPC . . . and we know it. Though we seek
“To Follow Christ and Share His Word” we sometimes miss God’s call.
Sometimes – for all kinds of reasons – we even run away from God. We take
comfort in the fact that we are not alone in our failures and struggles
(which the Bible calls sin). The Bible is full of people just like us. And
what’s so amazing is that God chooses to use them anyway. The prophet Jonah
is one such person. Just about everyone has heard about Jonah and the whale
(the Bible actually says ‘big fish’). For 6 weeks (beginning January 10) we
are going to look at the struggles of this reluctant prophet and see the
similarities in our own lives and callings. I encourage you to read through
these 4 short chapters and join us for one of our worship services on
Sundays. If you don’t have a Bible of your own, we’d love to give you one
for free.
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
