EVENTS

At First Church, Parent-Child Dedication is a meaningful opportunity for families to commit to raising their child in a Christ-centered home. It is a time for parents to publicly declare their intention to lead their child spiritually, teaching them about Jesus and guiding them in faith. This dedication is not baptism or salvation but rather a commitment by parents to raise their child according to God’s Word, with the support of the church family.

South Dakota Missions Trip 2025

Join us for a hands-on mission opportunity as we travel to Pass Creek Mission in South Dakota from April 26 – May 3, 2025. This trip is all about serving the Lakota tribe by building a shed they can use for tanning hides, which will help them create and sell handmade items online.

There is no cost to attend, except for your personal travel food. If you have power tools, please bring them along to assist with the project.

We will be staying at Pass Creek Church, where linens are provided, or you can bring your own sleeping bag for added comfort.
