Our Story.
Many of the same active leaders who incorporated the City in 1911 founded First Presbyterian Church in 1912. Almost like twins, the two have been linked together in an active vision based on the prospect of ever growing future greatness.
The church’s outreach programs strengthen the church/city partnership. To date, the members have built 18 houses for Habitat for Humanity and plan on continuing to build one house per year. Other outreach programs include feeding and clothing the hungry and homeless; providing an average of 2,800 meals a year to needy members of the community; donating and delivering almost 1000 Thanksgiving meals while partnering with Turkeys Take Flight to needy families in Florida; organizing six annual blood drives; providing Christmas gifts, food and a party to the children of incarcerated parents through the Angel Tree; and more. Beyond the local community, First Presbyterian Church leads mission trips to national and international locations, and operates a small gift boutique with fair-trade merchandise.
