Welcome to First Presbyterian!

First Presbyterian is a place of community and welcome.  We are all imperfect people who have made plenty of our own mistakes and had plenty of our own struggles.  We understand the difficulties of life, but we also know something about God's grace.  We strive to be a safe community to explore faith,  experience God's grace, and grow together in faith!

If you are considering worship at First Presbyterian Church:

  • Everyone is invited to be a full part of our ministries!

  • We have a fully accessible entrance off of Ferris street.

  • Come as you are, we have no expectation of how people should be dressed.

  • The sounds and experiences of children are welcome here.

  • The sounds and experiences of those with special needs and abilities are welcome here.

  • Young children have a place for quiet activities outside of a pew at the "prayground". We only ask that an adult would be with them or sit in the adjacent pew.

  • An elevator is located on the east side of the building near our fully accessible entrance and restrooms.

  • an unstaffed nursery is available down the South stairs.  Children need to be accompanied by an adult.

  • We have greeters and ushers if you have any unmet needs.

  • Rides to church are available by contacting the church office at 309-342-1200 before noon on Thursday.

  • This is a nut-free facility.  We ask that no nuts, peanuts, or sesame seed products come into our church building and none would be brought to our ministries for the well-being of some of our members.
