Make 2011 a year of new life! In order for God to make us anew, we must let go of the old - the past, both in time and mind. It has been said Jesus loves us so much that he accepts us just as we are... but that He also loves us too much to leave us there!

"For if you are in Christ, you become a new person altogether - the past is finished and gone, everything has become fresh and new." II Corinthians 5:17

The College and 20 Something’s Ministry at First Pres is designed to fit the needs of Young Adults moving into College and the years that follow. We know how important this time is for you as you are trying to decide what you want to do, what type of career you want to make, and what direction you want it to take you. We hope through our Bible studies, Retreats, and fellowship time that we can help you learn how to let God steer you through those winding roads. All of our events are casual, and we encourage you to come as you are. God bless you as you move into this time in your life.

"Rejoice with those who rejoice, and mourn with those who mourn."

The Congregational Care Ministry Team seeks to share the heart of Christ when you need it the most, whether it's by a visit from a pastor just before surgery, a fresh flower and a Deacon's friendly touch to a homebound member, or a confidential Stephen Minister to walk you through a difficult period of life. We hope that you will receive and share the loving touch of Christ. For more information, contact Rev. Chris Reny at (954) 598-9334 or ChrisR@firstpres.cc.
