Welcome to our inclusive, engaged community! Wherever you are on your spiritual journey, from a strong faith to mostly doubt, you will find you are in good company here.
We believe in asking questions, studying, and learning from one another. We gather to worship God who calls us to love, grow and live transformed lives. We see in Jesus the model we seek: compassion and active engagement, springing from a well of deep spirituality.
Our roots are in the Reformed tradition whose motto is, "The Church reformed, is always reforming." So, we seek to be open to how God's Spirit is leading us, in our context and in our times, to live in God's love.
We meet for Traditional and Contemporary worship, education, the fine arts, health and wellness programs, and service ministries of compassion and support. Come join us! You will be welcome at First Pres.- no exceptions!
On Sat., Jan. 5, from 11 am- 2 pm, the new year kicks off with the third annual Holy Smokes! "cook-in" with the now famous Boston Butts & Veggie Gumbo menu. Music, entertainment, and fellowship will be a big part of the day. Seating will be available as well as to-go orders for those on the run.
