Service Times
8:30 a.m. Traditional Worship Service
Our Classical worship service is designed for those who prefer a more conservative worship atmosphere. Hymnals are primarily used, there is a choir wearing robes, and you will hear music played on our organ. This service favors the traditional crowd.
Fellowship Time
You can enjoy some coffee and fellowship after the 8:30 a.m. service and before and after the 11:00 a.m. service in the Great Hall. Just help yourself. This is a good time to introduce yourself to our members and find out more about the church.
9:45 a.m. Sunday School
Sunday school classes for children, students and adults are offered between our worship services. Relationships are built as the Word of God is studied together, based on an assortment of topics. This is a great way to get connect at First Pres on a personal level!

Our Modern worship service is designed for those who prefer a more progressive atmosphere. In this service you will hear worship songs played from a band with words projected on a screen. This volume level of this service is turned up a notch. This service favors the contemporary crowd.
