What should I expect?
Welcome!
Thanks for checking out First Presbyterian Church of Bay City, MI; your place for worship, spiritual formation, service, study, fellowship and fun! At First Presbyterian Church, we are committed to providing relevant and engaging worship, providing quality educational opportunities to all, creating a culture of acceptance where differences are valued and connections to one another are fostered. We believe that God has a dynamic purpose for your life, and having a community of believers around you is part of that purpose. We know that God is doing great things through the ministries of First Presbyterian Church. Our hope is that you will come and see everything that God is doing in the lives through this fellowship of faith.
Visiting a new church can be confusing. Figuring out where the Sunday School rooms and nursery are, knowing where to go for coffee, finding parking, meeting new people. . . it can all be overwhelming. If you let us know ahead of time that you are coming by shooting us an e-mail, we can help plan your visit. We can reserve a parking spot, pre-register your children, or make sure you meet staff members and others. We will do anything we can to help your morning go more smoothly. In the Meantime, hopefully the information below will help.
Worship Services at First Presbyterian
We offer a dynamic blended worship service every Sunday at 10:00 a.m. Children gather for the first portion of the worship experience before a special message for them and dismissal to education time. The educational time is a rotation model known as the River of Faith. During the summer an additional outdoor worship service is offered in Wenonah Park at the World Friendship Shell. This service is called First @ Friendship. It takes place from 8:15 – 9:00 a.m. rain or shine.
What Should I Wear?
The most important thing is that you come to be surrounded by the warmth of this congregation. We know that God cares more about the inside of a person than what they wear on the outside. Dress respectfully and comfortably.
Nursery Care
Nursery care is available during the 10:00 a.m. services.
Common Grounds Cafe
Gather before or after worship in the very center of our church campus in what we call “The Commons.” You can purchase a yummy cup of coffee, a baked good or a beverage and support our youth in their mission (WorkCamp) endeavors.
Parking
There are several places to park on Sunday mornings off street and on street. We also have some really great neighbors who make parking available on Sunday mornings.
