First Presbyterian Church Mission Statement

We see it as our mission to glorify and reflect the love of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit in the church, in the community, and in the world. To do this, we follow the Great Commission in that we attempt to be the "hand of Jesus" to both the churched and the unchurched.

First Presbyterian also sees as its mission to preach and teach the Bible as the inspired and true Word of God. Finally, First Presbyterian sees as its mission to join firmly with the Confessing Church movement and to affirm Jesus Christ's unique, saving role in the world.

Also we envision our mission as working to defeat the General Assembly's resolution which deletes the "fidelity and chastity" provision from our Book of Order
