first church ministries

To accomplish our mission to prepare, seek, live, and teach we offer a variety of ministries that encourage, instruct and uplift our First Church families. Because we're a church where everyone is family, we strive to offer options that will minister to every member of the family, from the cradle to the rocker. While each ministry is unique, we are all united behind the singular vision of seeing God's Kingdom come in our lives and in our communities.

dream team

Our mission at First Church is to prepare, seek, live and teach and our Dream Team is a pivotal element is accomplishing that call. The Dream Team is the volunteer core of First Church. Our outreach efforts, as well the support provided during our special services and events, are channeled through our amazing, service-minded team of volunteers. The Dream Team operates to serve our community by embodying the nature of Christ, which is to put others first through Kingdom service.

Sunday School

Our Sunday School Department offers dynamic classes for every age student. Our Alpha Kids Children's Ministry includes interesting, yet age appropriate classes for kids ages 4-11; we offer Junior High and High School classes for youth ages 12-18, and finally options for adults include Senior Adults, Flashpoint, and Men Makers (men only). It is our desire for each member of the family to enjoy age specific classes that will help them learn and apply the Bible to their day to day life--whether the student is five or 95! Sunday School is held weekly at 9:30 am.

KIDz CLub

Families are a priority at First Church, and this is evident by our dynamic Alpha Kids Children's Ministry supported by our Sunday School Department and Kidz Club. At 7:00 pm on Wednesday nights in our Children's Chapel at our Family Life Center we provide a fun, engaging environment for our kids ages 4-11 to interact with one another and most importantly to develop their personal walks with God. Kidz Club generally begins with classroom time for our various age groups and cumulates with an engaging service, but parties, field trips to the splash pad, and candy rains are not unheard of. It's always fun at Kidz Club!
