A friendly face. A place for your kids. A chance to take your next step in faith. We'd love to meet you.
Plan your first visitWhat is a service like?
Plan for about an hour of worship, a message, and time to connect. Our 8:00 and 11:00 am traditional services include hymns. The 9:30 am contemporary service is more casual, with a live band. Choose the gathering that feels right for you.
Is there something for my kids?
Yes! Childcare for ages 0-3 is available during all three Sunday services. Children's Sunday School for age 3 through grade 5 meets at 9:30 am. Our children's ministry follows the church's Child Protection Policy.
Learn about First Church KidsWhere should I go when I arrive?
Traditional worship meets in the Sanctuary; contemporary worship meets in the Life Enrichment Center. Look for guest parking and a greeter-we're happy to help you find your way around our downtown campus.
