Who We Are
Who are we as a church? We will be exploring this question in our next message series beginning on September 11th. There is a statement that we use here to describe the identity and values of First Pres: Inspired by God's grace and love, we seek to be a community that follows Jesus. We will explore this statement alongside Scripture to explore who we are as a church and who God is calling us to be.
