WORSHIPIT'S ALL ABOUT GOD  |  SERMONS   |  MUSIC


At First Presbyterian Church, we desire for worship to be at the heart of everything we do as a community of faith. Worship is an encounter with the living Holy God. It isn't simply a scheduled meeting or a religious activity.

Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker; for he is our God and we are the people of his pasture, the flock under his care. Psalm 95:6


Traditional Worship

8:15am and 11:00am in the Sanctuary

Our 8:15am and 11:00am Sunday morning services are traditional in nature and usually identical in format. The Word of God is preached with passion and relevancy, the sacraments of Baptism and Communion are regularly celebrated, and God is glorified through the gifts of music. Our morning worship seeks to reverently glorify God, while joyfully expressing the contagious excitement of being part of the family of God. During the summer, one of our associate pastors normally preaches at these services. Music is typically led by our magnificent pipe organ or on the piano, with the Chancel Choir helping God's people to worship. The morning services are dynamic as the powerful presence of Jesus Christ is evident.

Contemporary Worship

at 9:40am in Fellowship Hall       

The contemporary service fosters a sense of worship and interaction with God with music and worship offered in a more relaxed atmosphere. A team of vocalists and instrumentalists leads the congregation in a time of praise and worship; various forms of media are used to help reach the needs of our culture; the sacraments of Communion and Baptism are celebrated regularly, and God’s Word is taught by one of the associate pastors. Please join us and invite your friends to experience God’s love at this service.

For Such a Time as This
The Story of Esther

In an incredible story of rags to riches, plain to beautiful, weak to strong, we read of an unknown young woman whose godly attributes of dignity, wisdom, and strength overcome the plans and plotting which sought to wipe out an entire race of people. So reads the story of Esther. The book is a fascinating read that has been loved by Bible readers for centuries, yet it does not mention God. No obvious miracles take place.
No angelic appearances are recorded and there is no mention of a messiah to come.

Yet as we study this book, we will discover once again the wonder of the invincibility of God’s grace. The hidden hand of God is clearly at work and lives are transformed at the unfolding of His eternal plans and purposes. Join us as we look at the life of this remarkable woman whose charm and elegance, restraint and self-control, modesty and transparency impact those around her and an entire nation. Clearly, she was born “for such a time as this.”
