First Presbyterian's Church School program is the basis of Christian Education for all ages. We have a class for everyone, and we're here to help you find the right place if you'd like. Classes meet from 9:30 to 10:20 a.m.
Adults have about a dozen classes to choose from. Some classes organize gatherings and social events of their own outside the church campus. See classes.
Youth members divide into two, and sometimes three, classes depending on age. Eighth-grade students are invited to join the Confirmation class which meets during Church School for part of the year.
Children learn the basics of our faith through activities each Sunday morning on the third floor of the Corl Building.
Preschoolers are invited to Church School each Sunday on the second floor of the Corl Building.
A nursery with professional staff is provided for children 3 and younger during Church School, as well as during worship services.
Each Sunday morning, our faith community comes together to learn, grow and worship together. You are invited to join us.
Our Sunday Visitors Center, located near the corner of Elm Street and Fisher Park Circle, is a good place to start your exploration of First Presbyterian Church. There you'll find people to help you find what you're looking for, information about the church, or a place to enjoy a cup of coffee.
If you'd like to know more about the church and its ministries, consider Explore FPC, a class that includes a tour, a chance to meet staff members and discussions about our faith and church. At the class's conclusion, participants have the opportunity to become members of the church.
You can learn more about our church by listening to audio recordings of sermons which can be downloaded as podcasts. To hear a broadcast of our First Worship service, tune in to 1320 AM at 8:30 a.m. on any Sunday.

Each of our Sunday worship services share the same sermon and Scripture, and all are deeply rooted in our Reformed, Presbyterian traditions. But the worship style varies depending on the service:
Our Sanctuary service begins at 10:30 a.m. each Sunday in the sanctuary. The Sanctuary service includes sacred choral and organ music and special emphases based on the litrurgical calendar and other events surrounding the life of the church. See our most recent Sanctuary service bulletin.
Our non-traditional worship experience, Rejoice!, is held each Sunday at 10:30 a.m. in the Mullin Life Center. Our Presbyterian theology and traditions remain the central focus of worship, but the music, dress and environment are more casual. See our most recent Rejoice! bulletin.
First Worship begins at 8:45 a.m. in the sanctuary on Sundays between Labor Day and Memorial Day. It includes a special focus on music. See our most recent First Worship bulletin.
