Have you noticed? We are leaping forward in ministry and mission at First Church. You can leap forward too.
This Sunday begins our appeal for 2017 financial commitments to support ongoing and new ways to be Downtown for Good. To begin our appeal, Mark Fowler will preach on the theme
Leaping Forward. Please join us in worship as we begin our journey that leads us to our
Leaping Forward Commitment Sunday on November 20th.

Love, in the Christian concept, becomes justice. Hear Pastor Mark talk more about reaching our promised home.
