Special Services

Picture
Weddings
A Christian marriage is a covenant through which two people are called to live out together before God their lives of discipleship. The wedding is publicly witnessed and acknowledged by the community of faith.

​For information regarding a wedding at First Presbyterian Church, please email Sherry Moore, Administrative Assistant.

Funerals
First Presbyterian Church offers a ministry of love and hope to all who grieve. Christians do not bear bereavement in isolation but are sustained by the power of the Holy Spirit and the community of faith. Because it is difficult under emotional stress to plan wisely, members should discuss and plan in advance arrangements necessary at the time of death.

​For information on memorial and funeral services, please email Rev. Lance Perry, Interim Associate Minister.
