Serve in the World


"Who is my neighbor?" Jesus answers this question very clearly.


As Christ's disciples we are called to reach out to the least of these, in our church, in society and in the world. Through our global missions, we strive to reflect the Spirit of Jesus, who transforms us through the fullness of God's love by extending the good news of Jesus Christ.


Global Missions Team

Works to incorporate the supported missions and missionaries of First Pres into the life of the church. Congregational involvement is encouraged and is accomplished by providing awareness of needs and accomplishments.

Alternative Giving Fair

This festive annual event gives each of us an opportunity to purchase holiday gifts that make a difference in the lives of people around. This "Bethlehem Christmas" helps remind us that the real meaning of Christmas giving is that "whatsoever you do for the least of these you do unto me."  Matthew 25:40.
