Belong. Be Challenged. Be Love.
Serve

God calls us to love one another. Here at First Presbyterian Church, we have a history of caring for the least of these and continually imagine how we can love in deeper and broader ways. We believe that mission is done in partnership and alongside those we are serving. Currently, we are founding members of Martha's Home, a new emergency shelter for women and children. We also will be welcoming a new childcare center to serve the significant childcare needs in our area. In addition, we financially support many local missions and participate alongside other community organizations. 
Community Dinner
The Community Dinner outreach provides a nutritious home-cooked meal on the 2nd Sunday of each month to the community. Volunteers meet at 9:00 a.m. on the 2nd Saturday to prep the meal. The Community Dinner is a great way to show God’s love through the gift of food and fellowship. A sign up to help will be available outside the Church Office or contact Tracy Kennedy.


​Monthly Opportunities to Serve at City Mission
All are welcome at the table! Help us "share the bread" with our neighbors by joining members of the Mission Committee twice a month to serve meals at City Mission (one lunch time meal and one dinner each month).
See the Enews for  upcoming dates.
Sign up outside the Church Office. Contact Lark McCormick about Tuesday lunches and Liz Wickard about Thursday evening dinners.

        We are focusing on filling Darrel the Barrel each month. Darrel benefits City                            Mission, and this helps us walk in closer partnership with them. See our newsletter              or bulletin to learn what items we are currently collecting.
Mobile Food Pantry
FPC hosts four mobile food pantry distributions throughout the year in cooperation with Chopin Hall and other community service organizations to provide food for the hungry throughout our community.
