What happens in a service?
Services last about an hour. We sing with a 6-piece band, and the message is about 30 minutes, using Scripture to teach in a practical way.
What do my kids do?
Nurseries for newborns through age 2 and First Kids for age 3 through 5th grade at every service, with electronic check-in, parent paging and a secure kids area.
What should I wear?
Whatever makes you comfortable. You'll see everything from jeans and hoodies to dress clothes.
Will I be asked to give money?
No. There is a voluntary offering for members and regular attenders. As a guest, please don't feel obligated. Coffee, membership and special events are always free.
Can I come if I'm not religious?
Absolutely. Many people start coming while they're still figuring out what they believe. No one will ask you to stand up, speak or give.
What does First Church believe?
We believe the Bible is God's Word and that Jesus is the Son of God who died and rose again so we can be made right with God. Read what we believe
