WORSHIP AT FIRST CHURCH
We believe worship should be a time during which people experience the presence of God and express their love toward their Lord. All of our worship experiences are centered on Jesus Christ and feature both biblical preaching and excellent music. Worship experiences at First Church utilize a wide range of music, visuals, ancient rites and video segments so that worship is meaningful, memorable and culturally relevant. At 8:00, 9:30 and 11:00 the style of worship varies, but the message is consistent.
