Deacons are the hands of compassion and service in our church. They are responsible for ministries to those who are in need. Deacons are people who have hearts for helping and serving. Trustees handle the business issues of our church. They are responsible for the property and physical aspects of our church.
Trustees are people who are skilled in business and finance.
Additional information regarding the qualifications and responsibilities of each office is available in the church office and in the literature racks. In order to be considered for an office, recommended individuals must be active members of First Presbyterian Church, attend worship regularly, and currently pledge to the budget of the church. Self recommendations are encouraged. After the recommendations are compiled, the CNC begins the careful, confidential process of seeking to discern God's will in nominating our next class of church officers. We use a detailed questionnaire to help us get to know each person better and to understand his or her unique gifts, skills, interests, availability, and sense of God's call at this time.
