Presbyterians follow a stated, although not strict, liturgy in services of worship. Thoughtful reading and interpretation of scriptures and prayer are the essentials of worship. The liturgy is designed to include the entire congregation in worship - just as ministry includes all members. First Presbyterian Church of Davenport is an inclusive, caring community of faith committed to loving God, loving neighbor as self, and sharing the love of Jesus Christ with all people through worship, fellowship, and service. Becoming a Member Visitors interested in learning more about the Presbyterian form of worship and membership opportunities at First Presbyterian Church are encouraged to attend an Inquirers' Gathering, held on a Sunday or Monday evening in the fall, winter, and spring.
Attendance is required prior to being received into active membership.
Membership Day is a Sunday morning when new members are received into active membership at First Presbyterian Church. The next Membership Day will be in the Fall of 2001. Members of the Christian Discipleship committee keep in touch with the new members during their first six months of membership.
