Children's
Ministry
Children's ministry at First Presbyterian is based on our belief that discipleship depends on strong relationships and Biblical teaching. The whole church is encouraged to get involved in our inter-generational events. Sunday morning during our regular worship service, “Junior Church” is offered for children ages 5 – 10.
We have also started a Mother's Morning Out program on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:00 -1:00. Call the Church office for more information.
Senior Adult Ministry
Silver Circle is the organization of “senior citizens” of the congregation. They may have silver hair, but they are young at heart! Silver Circle offers fellowship for its members, and it keeps them informed of activities and programs of the church. They meet on the third Friday of each month at 11:00 am. Meetings always begin with a devotional, and after an informative and entertaining program, a catered luncheon is enjoyed by all who attend.
Presbyterian
Women
Presbyterian Women (PW) provides the women in our church meaningful ways to live out their faith through a caring community of women.
