Restoring God's Ideal
A Church for Everyone
At First Church, we seek to make a difference in our world for Jesus Christ by connecting people to God and letting God transform lives. We believe it’s important to be a bridge to each other, our community and the world.
ST JOE CAMPUS LOBBY CONSTRUCTION
It’s been many years since we have seen any construction at the St Joe Campus! Eau Claire has had a fresh remodel, as has Stevensville when they opened, and, of course, Benton Heights has a beautiful Ministry Center.
As we move forward with construction, we want you, our church family, to see how your dollars are being used to reach more people in Berrien County. THANK YOU! Click on the link below to see a live view of the construction site.
