As a member congregation of the
Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), First Presbyterian is part of the World
Alliance of Reformed Churches, one of the largest Protestant bodies
world-wide. We are a congregation that seeks to call, engage and equip
believers toward a fully committed life in Jesus Christ.
Through our
Catholic heritage we proclaim our belief in the incarnation of God in
Jesus Christ and belief in the mystery of the triune God: Father, Son and
Holy Spirit.
Through our Protestant heritage we proclaim our belief in the authority
of Scripture and the justification by grace through faith.
Through our Reformed heritage we proclaim our belief in the sovereignty
of God, election to service and salvation, the covenant life of the
church, faithful stewardship of God’s creation, vigilance before the human
tendency toward idolatry, and life lived in obedience to the Word of God.
