First Church is a true melting-pot of believers who have found freedom in Jesus Christ – and we want as many people as possible to experience that same freedom! We are multi-generational, multi-cultural, multi-national, multi-lingual. Yet, unified in Christ, we celebrate the presence of God, and the purpose of God’s kingdom.Our services are warm with acceptance and passionate with praise. We are strong in doctrine but not motivated by doctrine – we desire to be motivated by love.
