First Presbyterian Church is a congregation of the Presbyterian Church USA and has an active youth ministry, including a weekly LOGOS program, Vacation Bible School, and an annual mission trip for middle and high school youth. The members elect youth elders who serve on the church board.
Members serve the community with a blessing box at the side door of the church. Anyone is invited to “give what you can and take what you need.” First Presbyterian is also a regular contributor to the Community Food Bank.
