Hospital Notices

Please note that the hospitals no longer contact local churches to let them know when a member is admitted. We encourage members and friends of First Presbyterian to call the church office to let us know when you go to the hospital so Pastor Susan and Chaplain Tim can provide pastoral support if it blesses you. We do not share any information without permission.

Contacting Staff During Renovation

Even though some of us may not always be in the building you can reach us by phone at home.

Just dial 217-528-4311
