We Are Here To Serve You
Our Vision
First Presbyterian Church Florence will be a community of Christ Followers committed to being disciples and making disciples in the way of Jesus.
Our Mission
First Presbyterian Church is called to love God and people with our Head, our Heart, and our Hands.
Loving with our Head: We are lifelong learners whose lives are shaped and renewed daily by God’s Word
Loving with our Heart: We commit to loving God and loving people. Relationships are vital and life-sustaining. We are connected to the Lord and are in a life-giving community with other Christ followers. Worship is a primary means to sustain and strengthen our relationship with God.
Loving with our Hands: We use our God-given gifts to serve others. Every Christ follower is engaged in ministry using their God-given talents.
PASTORS AND MINISTRY LEADERS
ELDERS AND DEACONS
ELDERS and DEACONS make up part of the leadership that is elected by the congregation to lead the church in service and love.
Governing Elders are elected by the congregation to lead the church in life and mission. They are mature followers of Jesus who together seek to understand and do God’s will by equipping, teaching, and encouraging all the members of the church. Elders serve a term of three years, where they oversee and lead the direction of the church.
The Deacons are mature followers of Jesus who assist the elders by encouraging and stimulating the connection and care between
people in the church and the extension of that to the community. They also lead the church in cultivating hospitality (greeting, ushering, and fellowship gatherings), and development ministry (financial assistance and mentoring, and practical assistance).
