ANnouncEments

Welcome to First Pres! You are welcome here! We are a community of faith that believes in the unconditional love of Jesus. We believe that Jesus accepts and wants a relationship with all of us NOW, as we are, not when we are "worthy" or "good enough" because none of us will ever be worthy or good enough. We would love for you to visit us in person or go to the "Services" page of this web site to view our online services.

Becoming Presbyterian, Becoming a Member

Presbyterians affirm that God comes to us with grace and love in the person of Jesus Christ, who lived, died, and rose for us so that we might belong to God and serve Christ in the world. God sends the Holy Spirit to dwell within us, giving us the energy, intelligence, imagination, and love to be Christ’s faithful disciples in the world.
First Presbyterian Church is a place where people can meet Jesus, engage in a life-giving community, and everyone is welcome.  Our mission is to Worship God, Love People, and Grow Disciples.  Our hope is that you will find a family of faith where you will grow in your faith and use your gifts to the glory of God to worship Him, love people and grow disciples.
There are three ways to become a member of First Presbyterian Church: by Profession of Faith, by Reaffirmation of Faith, and by Letter of Transfer.  As you prayerfully consider your decision to become a member of First Presbyterian Church, we encourage you to speak to Rev. Bobby Daniel about your decision.  He is available to talk with you following the worship service, or you may contact him by phone (409-883-2097) or email bobby@firstpresorange.com during the week.
