Sermons

Music at First Presbyterian Church is inspiring. With more than 200 singers, five choirs, talented volunteer and professional musicians, the church is able to provide both Traditional and Contemporary expressions of worship to enrich our offerings of prayer and praise. Contemporary worship is offered on Saturday (Oasis) at 6 p.m. and on Sunday at 9 and 10:30 a.m. in the Kirk Center, and Traditional worship is offered at 8:45  and 10:15 in the Sanctuary. Childcare is available at all worship services for children up to 5-years-old. Please join us!
