Serve at First Pres

Jesus said that he came not to be served but to serve. In that same spirit, with gratitude to God, we can strive to serve Christ in our daily tasks by supporting vital ministries of First Pres. In this way, the Church, as the body of Christ, continues to be a life-giving presence in the world.
