Family Ministries at First Presbyterian Church

Welcome to our Family Ministries page! This is the launching point for all of the many ways in which families are an integral part of our community of faith and a key focus of our programs. Rev. Jonas Hayes is the Associate Pastor for children, youth and family ministries. Use the links below to explore more about Family Ministries. The word "family" means more to us than just Mom and Dad and Kids.... We are a More Light congregation and treasure our Gay and Lesbian families, single parents, foster caregivers, and everyone in OUR FAMILY!

 

Youth Programs

Spiritual growth, engaging in social action, and building relationships are just three of the benefits of being part of the First Presbyterian Church youth program. Click here to check out more information.

     
 

Children's Ministries

Children at First Presbyterian Church learn by doing. Creek cleanups, plays, games, discussion groups, and active participation in the full life of the Church are just a few of the cornerstones of our children's programs. Click here to check out more information.

Just Plain Fun While Helping Others

Each year is filled with intergenerational traditions like making Christmas wreaths, collecting and wrapping Christmas for Others presents, creating Easter Baskets for battered women and children, and putting on a neighborhood Halloween party.
