Our history dates back to 1789 giving us a legacy of faith in Jesus Christ based on His grace and love for us. While traditional worship describes who we are, we do have a slightly more contemporary service called Offerings that you may enjoy as an alternative.

We have been blessed with great music over the years at First Church. When you come hear the music at our worship services, it is truly a "glorious experience".

5th Sunday Musicale
5th Sundays at First Church are celebrations of music that people come from miles around to experience. The Sunday has a following that attracts visitors that only come for these wonderful celebrations. Come join us on the next 5th Sunday Musicalle.

Jubilee Singers
The Jubilee Singers is a ladies vocal ensemble which adds special music each season of the year. Besides singing for our morning worship services, this group sings in nursing homes, retirement centers, and hospitals spreading the good news of Jesus Christ.

Glorious Rebellion
Adult hand bells that ring periodically in our services.

At First Church, we record all services on both audio tape and video tape. These tapes are duplicated by dedicated lay people and delivered weekly to shut-ins and anyone who may have been out of town or missed the service. Many people also request a tape of a particular service that had special meaning for them. The tapes are also available to anyone who would like a copy. We also archive all tapes of services. Contact our church office for more information.

We invite you to worship with us downtown or at Andover, to discover our warm and friendly traditional style of worship and music.
