The mission of the Congregational Life Committee is to invite women and men to greater faith in Jesus Christ and encourage authentic expressions of that faith through membership and active participation in the First Presbyterian Church. We believe that one way individuals experience a deepening faith is through fellowship with other Christians. Therefore, the mission of this committee is to increase the sense of warmth and belonging that makes our faith community unique, to invite and support those seeking deeper faith into the fellowship of our church family, and to nurture the commitment of members to Jesus Christ and this community by fostering spiritual fellowship in small groups and congregational gatherings. We meet the first Monday evening of each month at 6 p.m.
