We seek transformation in Christ. We hope, plan, and pray for the transformation of as many lives as possible by the love of Jesus Christ through the people of First Church. "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will." (Romans 12:2)
