At First Church, we strive to be a place of belonging, peace, and safety for all people. Please adhere to the following guidelines when visiting our beautiful campus:
Sunday Mornings
Campus will not open until 10am; Sanctuary doors open at 10:15am. Please be aware that filming will take place during the livestream of Sunday services.
FCCLA Precautions
Large backpacks and bags must be kept in vehicles. If they cannot be kept there or you arrive by other means, you may leave them at the security post upon check-in when entering campus. If your bag must be kept with you, security will be required to view the contents of your bag before you enter the premises. We are not responsible for damaged or missing items.
Hand sanitizers and masks available on site.

Events at First Church
First Church hosts a variety of community activities and events on a weekly basis. You can find a full list at:
What to Expect?
We recognize that many people who visit a church for the first time do so with a bit of fear, but we hope that you feel warmly welcomed here. First Church is a spiritual home to people from all walks and stations of life, believers and questioners, people from a range of backgrounds and faith perspectives, who come together to worship God, become more like Jesus, and serve God’s creation.
We have highlighted some key information in this section, but the best way to get to know First Church is to talk with the people here. Don’t hesitate to strike up a conversation with one of our pastors, deacons, greeters, or the people in your pew, and learn more about our life of worship, fellowship, and service together.
Is there Parking?
Yes, we have a parking structure directly adjacent to the church. It is free for our Worship services.
How will I know where to go?
When you arrive for worship, you’ll find many people ready to welcome you. One of our staff or volunteers will be in the parking lot as you enter. This person can help answer questions, give directions or just provide a smiling face. If you arrive early and aren’t quite ready to enter our sanctuary, there is always fair trade coffee available in Mayflower Courtyard. Just ask a volunteer to show you the way!
What if I have children?
Toddlers and older children are welcome to spend time outdoors on Festival Plaza with our First Kids First ministry from beginning to end of in-person service, where the FKF staff will engage them in a time of learning, singing, and fellowship. Click here to learn more about our children’s programs!
What if I want to learn more?
We’d love to have you join us for our next Discover First Church. This is a casual, no-pressure event with our senior minister to learn more about us and meet others who have been visiting.
