First Pres Membership Class

We're excited that you feel ready to put down roots in our community of faith. Our Membership Class is the place to go to explore your personal faith in Christ, what God is doing at First Pres and it also provides us with an opportunity to get to know you and your faith story.

The Membership Class is offered on Wednesday evenings and Sunday mornings, and culminates in participants having the option to become members of First Pres. After completing the Membership Class, we celebrate new members during worship.
