First Presbyterian Church...
Strives to be
an inclusive, diverse community of faith
which provides a strong bond of affection and care.
As part of the people of God,
we live our faith as an occasion
for discovery,
seeking God's presence
and asking questions
about the interaction of
faith and life.
Rooted in the Reformed tradition,
we struggle with both the
Biblical texts and the
issues of our day.
Active in our community,
we stand in solidarity with
those who are impoverished, marginalized, or oppressed.
We are committed to
nurturing spiritual growth
within and among ourselves,
responding to individual, community, and global needs,
to being dynamic and creative
as an urban church moving into
the 21st century.
We welcome persons
of differing abilities,
of all economic and
ethnic groups, of any
sexual orientation
to share with us
the joy,
the power,
the challenge
of God's good news
in Jesus Christ. |
