Our Congregational Culture
There are many styles of worship. At First Presbyterian, our worship style, generally, is a traditional
reformed service with liturgy, confession and classic Christian hymnody. Even with our traditional
emphasis, we believe that relevant worship in the 21st century provides space for congregants and
visitors to do integrative spiritual work. By this, we mean that our daily experiences inform and affect
our theology and vice versa. In worship at First Presbyterian, we are striving to integrate experience
and theology so that we feel responsive and genuine in our faith as we live our daily lives.
We welcome you, as you are, to
each worship service at First Presbyterian. Integrative work is not easy. It is not always comfortable,but it is essential to a vital church.
