In 2012, First Presbyterian was included in the will of a former church member. In gratitude to God, and because we are a mission-minded congregation, our Session established an Endowment Committee whose mission is to research and recommend distribution of funds from our gift to groups and/or organizations who provide much-needed services in our community. 1st Presbyterian Church has placed an emphasis on feeding the hungry, caring for children, and providing for first responders.
Organizations interested in submitting a grant request may contact the church office for an application.
