How do I become a member of First Presbyterian Church?

A five-session exploring membership class is offered approximately once each quarter.  Each session begins after Sunday worship with lunch followed by a class of about 90 minutes.  Please call the church office to find out when the next Exploring Membership class begins.

Our objectives are:

  • To nourish your relationships with each other and with the members of this congregation
  • To help you clarify your place in your faith journey
