Vision
First Presbyterian Church loves kids! We desire to transform the hearts of kids to ignite a life-long desire to LOVE God, SERVE others, and GROW in their relationship with Jesus.
We believe that parents are the primary spiritual influence in a child’s life and our goal is to partner with and support our parents as they nurture and guide their children.
