First & Central Presbyterian Church is a diverse, accepting, and openminded Christian community
making a difference to one another and in the city.
We are Presbyterian, but ecumenical, taking people as they are;
celebrating the leadership of all (women, men and our young people);
embracing people of all lifestyles; and growing to meet the challenges of our urban community.
The Mission of First & Central Presbyterian Church is to proclaim the Word of God and the Gospel of Jesus Christ by:
· Ministering enthusiastically and compassionately to individual, congregational,
and community needs;
· Encouraging spiritual, ecumenical, and intellectual growth; and
· Being responsible stewards in our Church, community, and the world.
At First & Central Presbyterian Church we continually strive to become a church that:
Welcomes without limits
Supports, affirms, and loves all people
Uses our resources in service to the community
Demonstrates our commitment to compassion and justice
Nurtures growth and development of children, youth, and adults
Provides a sanctuary from life's trials and tribulations for the renewal of our spirits
Offers an oasis in the city that emphasizes service and ministry to city dwellers and downtown workers.
Using Christ as our guide, our worship, music and other programs provide us with the faith and inspiration
to reach out and help others in need. We are committed to continual spiritual growth,
and an ever deepening understanding of God's will for ourselves, our church, and our community service.
We work and pray daily to make our vision a reality.
