ABOUT US

Join us in celebrating life's journey together, where every step is accompanied by grace and compassion.
WHO WE ARE
OUR MISSION
Together we are a community of believers. What does that mean, the word community? We believe that together in fellowship we grow closer to God and one another. The bible speaks about iron sharpening iron. We believe that together we grow stronger. We are a community of believers.
OUR VISION
We strive to be a church without walls. Jesus calls for us to go outside the walls to reach the lost and the broken. It is there that the lost will be found. Most churches find it is comfortable to stay within the walls, but we make it an effort to be like the church from the book of Acts, to see our city changed.
OUR VALUES
We highly value our relationships with one another. We look to grow through fellowship, and ultimately growing closer to God. We value the word of God, and the leadership of the Holy Spirit. We look to extend grace to all of the lost and broken, and lead those with no hope to the hope of Jesus Christ.
OUR HISTORY
SMALL BEGINNINGS
The First Presbyterian Church was established in 1843 by the Reverend Thomas Anderson and Circuit Rider Steele. They were sent by the Home Mission Society from Philadelphia to "tame the Wild West". The Anderson family arrived via the Erie Canal. What a rich history! The church continues to play a significant role in the community to this day through its unwavering commitment to serving others and spreading God's love.
