The Presbyterian Church (USA), of which First Presbyterian is a part, works to affirm the worth of all persons, including those in the LGBTQ community. The governing body of our church, the Session, affirms ours as a welcoming and affirming congregation. All are welcome to join in worship, fellowship, and service!

Our PCUSA Mission staff penned this prayer as we continue to work and hope for the reign of God to be established:

God of justice, hope, love, and mercy,

help us to continually live into the church that you have called us to be.

Compel us to stand against injustice wherever it may be found.

Provoke us to hold firm to the gospel message of inclusion and equity.

And empower us to continually be salt and light

in a world that so desperately needs more representation of your Spirit.

We love you and strive to love others in the same way.

Through God’s grace, in Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
