"Our congregation reflects the main­line denominations in its spectrum of theology and teaching, valuing lively discussions, a variety of insights, and timely responses to local and world situations. We also value our connection to other Presbyterian churches throughout the nation and the world, and the mission we are able to do work­ing together.

Sunday morn­ings (with nursery available) find mem­bers, friends and children gather­ing for Christian Education at 9 a.m. We worship in our uniquely painted sanctuary at 10 a.m. followed by a fellowship time with coffee and treats. Our gifted choir is led by Kelly Dame.

The Rev. Ward Rudolph leads worship. He recently served Covenant Presbyterian Church in Springfield, MO. He can be reached at the church at 417-256-4247, or at 1stpresbychurch@centurytel.net. Visit in person. You will find...

a warm wel­come."
