Current Events at First Church
Check back here regularly to see what's coming up at First Church. We have events for everyone - adults, students, children, men, women.
UNITED PRESENCE AND ENCOUNTER
January 25 • 5–7:30 PM • The Mendel Center
Join us for a powerful evening of worship and prayer as churches from across our region gather together under one name—Jesus. UNITED is a special multi-church revival service designed to seek God’s presence, lift up His name, and experience His transforming work in our lives and community.
This night is open to everyone. Come expectant. Come ready to worship. Come ready to encounter the Lord together.
Partnership Class — February 1st
St. Joseph Campus | Immediately the second service
If you’ve been attending First Church and are ready to take a next step, we’d love to invite you to our Partnership Class happening on Sunday, February 1st at the St. Joseph Campus.
This one-session class is a great opportunity to:
Learn more about who we are as a church
Discover our mission, beliefs, and values
Explore what it means to partner with First Church
Ask questions and connect with our pastors and staff
Whether you’re new, returning, or simply curious about becoming a partner, this class will help you understand how you can grow, serve, and belong here.
Passcreek Mission Trip
A last-minute opportunity has opened to serve with Passcreek Mission in South Dakota, and we’re inviting anyone from our church family who’s able to jump in.
From February 21–28, a work crew is needed to help with projects on the church building at Passcreek Mission. After receiving the call from Tim Wardell, Jim Clark has agreed to pull together a team to meet this need.
This trip will focus on general home maintenance and repair projects, so participants should be comfortable using basic tools and helping with hands-on work. No professional experience is required—just a willing heart and practical skills.
The cost is $300 per person, which covers transportation, food, and lodging.
If you’re looking for a meaningful, short-term way to serve and make a tangible impact, this is a great opportunity to step in and help.
Selah: A Day to Exhale — A Women’s Event
Saturday, March 7, 2026
10:00 AM – 4:00 PM | First Church St. Joseph Campus
Take a breath. Slow your pace. Create space for God to meet you.
Selah is an invitation to pause—an intentional day set apart for women to rest, reflect, and renew their souls in the presence of the Lord.
Join us for a beautiful, refreshing day designed to help you reconnect with God and exhale the weight you’ve been carrying. Through meaningful teaching, worship, conversation, and moments of quiet, you’ll experience a rhythm of rest that reminds your heart who God is and who you are in Him.
Whether you come with friends or come needing space alone, Selah offers a welcoming, peaceful environment created just for you.
You’re invited to step away from the noise, breathe deeply, and encounter the One who restores.
