Upon his arrival as senior pastor in 2001, Dr. Sid Batts said, “We share a calling to make this church what God wants it to be. We are on a spiritual journey together.”
From 2007 to 2009, the Strategic Planning Committee observed, listened, studied, consulted, surveyed and prayed in order to identify and articulate a new strategic direction for First Presbyterian Church.
The team proposed this as a three-year plan through 2012, renewable thereafter a year at a time.
