Outreach & Care
The primary focus of our outreach ministry is to Demonstrate Christ’s love in specific ways, so every person we meet will know they are important, loved and wanted, in Jesus’ name. Outreach is broken down into several areas such as community needs and events, homeless ministry, and our welcome ministry, to name a few.
First Church has an active prayer support ministry, lifting before God, the needs of His people. There is a prayer time every Wednesday from 6:30-6:55 pm. All that attend spend twenty five minutes in prayer. The Email Prayer Chain is made up of faithful members who receive requests from the church office daily, asking for prayer for people, special needs, and the many ministries of First Church. Both groups are passionate about praying for the needs of our congregation, neighbors and surrounding community. If you would like to be part of this very important ministry, let us know and you will be added to the Email Prayer Chain distribution list. When God’s people pray, things happen!
» Homebound & Care Home Ministries | Pastor Bill Toy
Reaching out to people who cannot attend services allows those who otherwise would not hear the message of Christ to find peace and comfort in the love of Jesus.
Every other Saturday at 8:00 a.m., volunteers meet to demonstrate Christ’s love by distributing sandwiches, clothes, and other necessities to our community’s homeless. If you would like to participate, either by volunteering or by donating materials, please use the “Contact Us” link above.

We are part of the International Missions Program of the Church of the Nazarene. We take seriously God’s mandate to take the Good News of Christ to all people. Our church supports missionaries world-wide through offerings, and special gifts. We “adopt” specific missionaries who we support financially, and in prayer. Groups from the church also participate in “Work & Witness” trips to assist in building the ministries of other countries, and within the United States. Visit our link to see what we have been doing.
