FAQ
What is worship like at First Church?
Our worship is traditional yet contemporary. It’s grounded in the ancient biblical story but tuned in to the issues and struggles of today. We pray together, aloud and silently. We listen and reflect on scriptures and sermons. We make music together in diverse styles. We receive the gift of our wonderful choir. We welcome people of all ages to be part of the worshiping community. Though we are serious about sharing in meaningful worship, we try not to take ourselves too seriously.
What should I wear?
Please wear what makes you comfortable! You will find many different styles at First Church – from dressy to extremely casual.
What if I don’t understand a part of the service and don’t know what to do?
It’s okay! People come to First Church from all different backgrounds. Maybe you grew up in a different tradition; maybe you grew up with no tradition at all. It always takes time to get used to a new church setting. If you have any questions about what happens in worship, please feel free to get in touch with the clergy.
