First Presbyterian is called to love God, self, and neighbor.  We do this as we worship together and when we reach out in compassion to others.  This command is given to us in Scripture in Matthew 22, verses 37-39 where it says, 'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.'  This is the greatest and first commandment. And a second is like it: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' Using this text as a basis for our mission, First Presbyterian is committed to love and to the full transformation of the individual through that love.
