Aligning faith and life

Become a member

Who can join?

Membership is open to all who confess Jesus Christ as their Lord and savior and desire to make First Presbyterian Church their church home.

 

How can I join?

WHAT IS THE FIRST STEP?

To join First Presbyterian, a prospective member should attend On Ramp, a class for anyone who wants to join First Presbyterian or learn more about the life, history, and beliefs of the Presbyterian church and this congregation.  The class is led by Senior Pastor Rev. Tony Sundermeier and is comprised of the following parts:

  • A discussion of your faith journey and what led you here to First Pres.

  • The history of the Presbyterian Church and the history of First Pres.

  • The meaning of Membership—what we hope you will contribute to this church community and, in turn, what you are seeking from your church home.

WHEN IS THE NEXT CLASS?

On Ramp meets on a Sunday afternoon following the 11:00 a.m. worship service. The upcoming schedule is as follows:

January 22, 2023

After completing the On Ramp class, you will be invited to attend a Session meeting where you will meet the current Ruling Elders of the church. Following your introduction, you will be asked the qualifying questions of membership, and then the Elders will vote on your membership. You will be introduced to the Congregation on a Sunday morning following this meeting.
