Welcome!

We are glad you have found us on the web. If you do not have a spiritual home, we invite you to join us for worship, education, fellowship and service at a community church that values tradition as well as innovation.
We are committed to being a spiritual home for a diverse group of Christians who are open to many ways of understanding, questioning, challenging, learning, deepening and living out our faith while making a difference in the world.
No matter who you are or where you are on life's journey, you are welcome here.
This year we are looking at very practical ways that our Christian faith makes a difference in our lives and in the world. Join us in a journey of faith and practice that allows you to be part of a community that nurtures your spirit and moves you to action.
  - The Rev. Dr. Ned Edwards, Senior Minister 
First Church believes that "God is still speaking" to us and to others and thus we strive to be an open and welcoming community for all people to experience the love of God in Jesus Christ.
