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.
We are now to the time of
year where we prepare to journey with Christ all the way to the Cross and
the Empty Tomb. The season of Lent (beginning with Ash Wednesday on
February 17) gives us an opportunity to assess our own commitment to Christ
when the going gets tough. Our sermon series between now and Easter Sunday
(April 4) is called "Toughing It Out: When Following Christ Gets Hard."
We'll look at some of the people Jesus would have learned about from the Old
Testament: Noah ("Doing Odd Things"), Joseph ("Being Unjustly Accused"),
David ("Facing the Giants"), and Jeremiah ("Being A Truth-Teller"). We will
also have a guest speaker on March 14. David Witt has worked with Voice of
the Martyrs for many years and currently heads up his own organization
called Spirit of Martyrdom. He's seen some amazing toughness in the
Persecuted Church around the world. We'd love to have you join us for the
difficult and demanding call to Follow Christ and Share His Word.
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

in the left column.
Thanks for checking us out. I hope to meet you in person soon.
Pastor Tom Hansen
