As a multicultural community, we are intentional about living as the Beloved Community.
As a multi-age family, we recognize the gifts children and youth bring to worship and community life.
This Week at First Church
Join us for Sunday Worship at 10:00 AM
Currently, we are inviting a series of guest preachers to share in our Sunday worship. This Sunday, April 22nd, three congregation members - Suzie Inadomi, Lawrence Reh, and Kristin Stangl - will share testimony centered around Galations 3:28, about the church's mission of Building the Beloved Community and becoming a More Light Presbyterian congregation. We also welcome back jazz pianist Joe Warner as our guest musician and worship accompanist.
