As you become a member of First Presbyterian, it is our hope that you will grow in your faith and support the church to the best of your ability. We have high expectations of all our members and want you to find your place of service in our church. We will try to stimulate and motivate you so that you will be a blessing to others by:

How to Join
You are encouraged to speak to one of the pastors about your decision to join First Presbyterian Church. They are available to talk with you following any worship service or you may wish to call them by phone during the week. The church also offers an Inquirers' Class to persons interested in becoming members of First Presbyterian Church. Details of the next available class are listed below.
There are three ways to become a member of First Presbyterian Church.
1. By Profession of Faith in Jesus Christ
One becomes an active member of the church through faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and acceptance of his Lordship in all of life. Baptism and a public profession of faith in Jesus as Lord are the visible signs of entrance into the active membership of the church.
2. By Reaffirmation of Faith in Jesus Christ
It is sometimes the case that persons who previously made a profession of faith and became active members in a particular church are unable to secure a certificate of transfer or other evidence of church membership. After instruction and examination by the session, these persons shall reaffirm publicly their profession of faith and their acceptance of responsibility in the life of the church.
3. By Transfer of Letter
If you are active in another Christian church, you may join First Presbyterian by transferring your letter. The day after you join, the church secretary writes to your former church for the letter or other evidence of church membership.
