A Charitable Life

The Latin root for “charity” is love. True love is always a free gift. We receive it without any cost to ourselves. We give it without demanding payment from others. This is, at any rate, the basis for the mission Jesus sends the disciples on when they go into Judea preaching, healing, and teaching. Yet some of those they encounter will not accept the love they bring. To this, Jesus gives a faithful teaching on how to respond to rejection. Even in rejection, we find, we are called to a charitable life.

Scripture References: Psalms 116:12-19, Matthew 10:1-14

Who We Are

Our Members of Session (Elders)

The Elders at First Presbyterian Church oversee and guide the entire life, mission, and ministry of the church as it seeks to glorify God and love our neighbors. Each elder has been identified as a person of Christian character and has accepted ordination into leadership in the church.

Practically, they provide for the worship, finances, building, education, mission, and outreach of the church, doing so by modeling faithfulness in all these areas. They are the servant-leaders of the church.
