At First Presbyterian Church, our faith stands on a foundation older and sturdier than any one of us—rooted in Scripture, shaped by the creeds and confessions of the Church, and nourished by the long, steady current of Reformed theology. We are anchored to the past not out of nostalgia, but because deep roots help us stand when the winds of life bend us low.

On any given Sunday, you’ll feel that anchor. You’ll hear it in liturgy spoken by generations before us, in hymns that have carried saints through joy and sorrow, and in a musical life that lives comfortably in both the classical tradition and the fresh air of mountain-folk and contemporary Christian song. We believe worship should sound like the whole church—past, present, and yet to come.

And yet—because we are Presbyterian, because we are Reformed—we refuse to let our anchoring become our anchor down. Our tradition gives us a compass, but the Holy Spirit gives us wind.
