Meet the Team
The success of our church begins with the First Church Ministers and Leaders. You’ll find them to be integral forces in carrying out our church mission. Their relentless energy is contagious. And, they’re accessible. They want to hear from you, get to know you and provide help when you need it.
While administrative staff is often on-site daytime weekdays, individual staff members have varying hours. Please contact them directly to set up an appointment, as staff members are not typically available for drop-in appointments.
