Welcome to Our Website!
First Presbyterian is an exciting place to be, and we invite you to share in our joy, energy, and service to our Lord! Since my beginning here in March of this year, nine new members and four baptisms have increased our Fellowship --we would love to invite you to be a part of our faith family!
We have Ministry, Mission, Service and Worship at our core.
Ministry: We offer a full Sunday School (including an adult class) meeting at 9:30 every Sunday. Our choir rehearses at 6:30 PM on Wednesdays. Ladies are invited to Ruth Bible Study at 1:30 PM on the fourth Thursday here at the church; Grace Salsbury Bible Study meets on the fourth Thursday at 7:00 PM in a member's home or at the church, and the Priscillas meet at 1:30 PM on the first Tuesday at the church. A Bible Study in the Parables is led by the pastor on every other Monday night at 7:00 PM. Our "Monday Morning Ladies" gather at 9:00 AM in the John Calvin Lounge.
Mission: This past summer we have worked hard to raise over $2400 for the Relay for Life. We participated in the World Service CROP Walk on October 7th and recently donated eighty-two blankets to World Service on Blanket Sunday, October 28th.
Service: is what we do for each other within our church family. Our Membership Committee faithfully visits our shut-ins and home bound folks. We recently coordinated a community-wide benefit for the family of Melissa Bates, one of our young ladies who is battling a second bout with cancer.
Worship:is done to the praise of our God! Our most important hour of worship is at 10:45 AM on Sundays. We also offer homebound folks the chance to worship with us as we broadcast our worship on WKEI (1450) at 8:00 AM. Week-long prayer lists are published every week in the bulletin so that our people may take them home to lend the strength of their prayers every day for the afflicted. We are eager to pray for your concern if you will call the office at (309) 852-2564.
We sincerely pray that you will find us a fulfilling and challenging church home, Dr. Dyke <><
