​After several months of prayerful deliberation, it is with much JOY that our Pastor Nominating Committee shares the good news of calling a Pastor, Head of Staff, to our church. We are pleased to welcome The Rev. Dr.  Anna Pinckney Straight to First Presbyterian Church.

First Presbyterian Church is a welcoming community of faith where Jesus Christ transforms lives:

through worship, as we praise and glorify God; through outreach, as we embody God's love in service to the world; through education, as we listen for God's Word; through giving, as we express gratitude to God; through caring, as we love and care for one another; through communication, as we invite all to join in God's work; through fellowship as we share our lives and faith together.
