Join Us at 8:30 or 11 a.m.
The Gathering Service starts at 11 a.m. and has a more modern, casual feel. This service offers contemporary worship led by our worship band and a very family-friendly atmosphere. Currently, the Gathering Service is in-person only and takes place in the green chair section of the sanctuary.
Both services include a biblically-rooted message from one of our pastors, child care, Kid Worship and Wee Worship (except during the summer) and monthly opportunities for communion.
We also host Rejoicing Spirits on the fourth Sunday of each month at 4 p.m. This special “shush-free” worship service is designed for individuals of all ages and abilities. We welcome everyone to join in this interactive and inclusive service!
Whatever service you pick, we’re excited to see you on Sunday!

Frequently Asked Questions
Where are you located?
How early should I arrive for worship?
What can I expect when I arrive?
If you need help, you can always ask anyone with a First Church name tag!
What is parking like?
We have ample parking (including several handicap accessible spots) in the lot right outside our building. You can enter the lot on High Street. If there’s no parking available in our lot, you can park along the Simpson, High, Frederick, or Keller Street.
What should I wear?
What about my kids?
Discipling the next generation is a big deal, and children are an important part of our worship community! Kids are always welcome to attend our worship services, however, many parents find that their children benefit from our age-specific programming offered during our 8:30 and 11 a.m. worship services.
We offer child care for newborns through 3-year-olds at both of our services. Additionally, we offer Wee Worship beginning at age 3 and Kid Worship for 5-year-olds through fifth graders. Each week at Wee Worship and Kid Worship, kids have a Bible lesson, sing songs, make crafts and build relationships with other kids.
Check out our Children’s Ministries and Youth Ministry pages to learn more about the opportunities we offer for them at First Church.
Do you offer Sunday School?
Yes! If you’re looking for learning and relationship-building while you’re at church for worship, check out one of our Sunday School classes. Groups meet between services from 9:45 to 10:45 a.m. There are several groups to choose from, and newcomers can jump in anytime. Check out our current list of adult Sunday School classes here.
During the Sunday School hour, we also offer child care for newborns through 3-year-olds in our children’s wing. Kids in kindergarten through 12th grade are invited to Cafe 21:12, a casual hangout with snacks and games in the youth lounge.
What about disabilities?
In addition to our Sunday morning services, we offer a Rejoicing Spirits service on the fourth Sunday of every month at 4 p.m. This “shush-free” service is specially designed for individuals with disabilities and their caregivers and families, and celebrates all expressions of worship. Rejoicing Spirits includes music, prayer, scripture reading and a message.
