We are a church defined by our covenantal relationships with Jesus Christ and one another. In addition, we are an evangelical group of believers, members of the Reformed Church in America, and welcoming to all who participate in our diverse, blended worship services. We also care deeply for our community, and believe in serving in this world as the hands and feet of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Please consider visiting with us this Sunday at 9:30 a.m. Childcare is provided for children ages infant–three, and we also offer Children in Worship activities partway through each service for children ages three–first grade.
Please join us this week in praying for 2009 - Restoring the Joy of Salvation - our 150th Anniversary. We want to lift up the next year to the Lord and demonstrate our passion for His work through us. Let us please focus our prayers that day around the following concrete requests - that the Lord at First Church in 2009 -
- Visibly increases our devotion, service, giving and passion for following Him
- Visibly increases and deepens relationships within our church family
- Visibly increases our serving and reaching out to others, serving as "missionaries" wherever we are
- Visibly increases the number of people who, through First Church, come to know Christ, are baptized and added to God's family and start their journeys here

- Restoring the Joy of Salvation (150 years later, and in these post-modern, distracted and discouraging times, we want celebrate the joy of being saved in Jesus Christ and share that joy with the community and world)
- 2009 First Church Word
"Create (INTENTIONAL) in me a clean heart (HOLINESS), O God, and put a new and right spirit within me (TRANSFORMATION). Cast me not away from your presence, and take not your Holy Spirit from me (PRESENCE). Restore to me the joy of your salvation (RESTORATION), and uphold me with a willing spirit (SPIRIT-LED, OBEDIENCE). Then I will teach transgressors your ways, and sinners will return to you (AUTHENTIC COMMUNITY, EVANGELISM). Deliver me from bloodshed, O God, God of my salvation, and my tongue will sing aloud of your deliverance (VIBRANT PRAISE)."
Psalm 51:10-14 |
