Our VISION STATEMENT (Approved March 2007)

By the Grace of Jesus Christ, we will strive to 

Share the "Good News" with the world  

Nurture each other in our faith, and  

Go into the world sharing Christ's love and mercy.

The thread of Mission support to people in need outside of our church is found in many of the activities and giving by our church membership.

Some of our activates include: Adult and Youth Mission trips · Back to School Back Pack Supply Drive · Deacon’s Compassion Activities · Fun & Fellowship · Presbyterian Women's Circles and Projects · "Shepherding" Outreach and Lunches · Souper Bowl Sunday ·

We contribute to missions of the greater Presbyterian Church (U,S.A.). Four special offerings promoted by the  Mission Commission are The One Great Hour of Sharing, Pentecost Offering, Peacemaking Offering, and Christmas Joy Offering.

The Board of Deacons seeks to meet the special or emergency needs of the community, and they attempt to help those in need financially and in other tangible ways. Part of our assistance is referring people to other community agencies which could also meet these needs. First Presbyterian Church participates in the Caring Connection, an ecumenical community ministry helping to provide temporary assistance to persons in need. Caring Connection is located in the St. Paul Evangelical Church on Scammel Street.

Our youth sponsor the Souper Bowl of Caring in February, mission trips, and their "Miracle on Fourth Street", a Christmas offering. The endeavors of our young people are supported wholeheartedly by the congregation.

A special mission project for our children and the children of the community takes place each summer during Vacation Bible School.
