Many Ways to Worship

At First Presbyterian Church we honor the many different ways to worship. During the school year, we hold three worship services, each with its own flavor of music and formality, while still connecting you with the same message.

Serving Our Community

An important role all churches in a community is to care for those in need. At FPC, there are outreach opportunities for all ages and gifts. From Kids Disciple Club, to youth and adult mission trips, to Triad Career Network and Hot Dish & Hope, we serve locally and globally.

Serving Each Other

It is equally important, when our own members are in need of care, that the community of the church is present. Our Congregational Care ministry is not only composed of our clergy, but all within the congregation, who provide support services where needed.
