Vision 2026
Over the course of the next five years First Presbyterian Church will focus on the cultivation of presence—the presence of God with us, the presence of the community of saints, and our presence in the city.
We will cultivate an awareness of God’s presence in our lives through:
- Robust theological education
- Embodied, historical, and vibrant liturgy
- A renewed engagement in the spiritual discipline of prayer
We will cultivate the community of saints through:
- Being present and available to one another through frequent and intentional contact
- The sharing of stories that illuminate the work of God in our midst
- Improving our physical space to meet the needs of our ministries
We will cultivate our presence in the world through:
- Developing stronger relationships with our neighbors
- Fostering closer partnerships with the ministries we support
