Church on the Street

First Presbyterian Church is an Ecumenical partner with Church on the Street. Church on the Street builds relationships as God did through listening, asking questions, being present and consistent, and showing compassion to all of God’s people. We believe that every human being, regardless of their housing status, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, or race, deserves a community where they feel at home. We are committed to fostering inclusivity and promoting racial equity. We may look a little different than most churches, but where it matters, we are exactly the same. Worship 2nd Sunday of the month at 11:00am at the multicultural center (winter months) and in the Heritage Park (summer months).

Laundry with Love

Laundry with Love was established in 2018 under the umbrella of Church on the Street. We come alongside those in need and we feel God at work. The generosity and involvement of our First Presbyterian Church congregation helps make this happen. We are one of the churches that provides free laundry and meals at the local laundromat. Contact Anja Hoekman for more information.
