Stained Glass Windows
First Presbyterian Church's worship services are enhanced each week by a collection of stained glass windows donated over the years by our membership as memorials to their loved ones. Many of these windows date to the early days of our current building, which was completed in 1912. To view pictures of the windows, click on the name of the windows.
