Stay Connected
We would love to see you get connected to the body of Christ here at First Pres. As you find yourself in an area you enjoy serving, two things will happen. One, you will find you have made new friends as you go. Second, your life will be blessed as God uses you to bless others!
We have spiritual gifts surveys you can take to get an idea of where God has gifted you, but the best way to discover your abilities is to jump right in and serve. You discover your gifts by getting involved in ministry. If what you try doesn't work just right, call it an experiment and let us help you try to find something else.
