Welcome to the Web Site of the First Presbyterian
Church of Flint, a member congregation of the Presbyterian Church
(USA). First Presbyterian
Church is eager to greet you with the warmth and welcome of Jesus Christ.
This congregation is now in its 170th year of being engaged by Christ's
love to invite, worship, nurture and serve. Together, we endeavor
to bring the power and love of Jesus Christ to bear upon all the seasons
of life.
First Presbyterian Church is eager to greet you with the warmth and welcome of Jesus Christ. Please consider this website an invitation to step more deeply into the life and work of this servant community. And in so doing, may the joy of the Lord make you whole.
First Presbyterian Church is a community of Gods children engaged by
Christs love inviting all to Gods good news in Jesus Christ; worshiping
and centering on God; nurturing each other through caring, spiritual
growth, understanding, and fellowship; and serving those in need. This
web site shows some of the ways we are nurturing each other.
Search through these offerings and find places that will nurture you into
discipleship. We cannot give what we have not received. These opportunities
offer you gifts to learn, to be encouraged, to receive care, and to be
empowered to live a faithful life.
As you read, you will discover programs for children, youth, adults, singles,
couples, senior citizens, and families. Find ones that will meet your
needs and others that will challenge you. Most importantly, get involved.
By participating in these ministries of nurture you are opening yourself up
to be engaged by Christs love.
God loves you. God wants you to grow in your discipleship. God is with
you.
Peace,
Rev. Dr. John L. Musgrave |

As a faith community,
we gather at First

to WORSHIP...to
praise God, to ask for
forgiveness, to listen
to the mighty acts of
God through scripture and word proclaimed, to
respond in affirmation of faith and offerings, to
celebrate the sign and seal of Gods word in
sacraments of Baptism and the Table, and to
commit ourselves to discipleship. At First
Presbyterian Church, our worship is enhanced
by a dynamic music ministry with a historic
commitment to excellence. WORSHIP with us.

church. We are a church that chooses to be
actively involved in the city of Flint, the

| The Presbyterian TRADITION |
The Presbyterian Church derives its name from the
Greek word Prebuteros which means Elder. The
Presbyterian form of government is characterized by
governance by Elders who are chosen from the
congregation for leadership. The First Presbyterian
Church of Flint is a member of the Presbyterian Church
(U.S.A.) which was formed in June 1983 by the joining
of the major northern and southern branches of
Presbyterianism. These two
churches had been separated
since the Civil War, and this
reunification was a major step in
uniting Presbyterians across this
country. As a Presbyterian Church, we uphold the
Tenets of Reformed Faith. Among these are:
Gods grace is discovered in Jesus Christ who is the
incarnation of the Word of God.
Gods love and graces comes as a free gift to which
we respond with faith.
Scriptures, by the Holy Spirit, are the unique and
authoritative witness to Jesus Christ and the rule of
life.
Our Sovereign God calls us to service as stewards
of all life and to community that shows the love of
Christ.
We are to confess our tendency to idolatry.
With Gods help, we seek the transformation of
society by seeking justice and living in obedience to
the Word of God.
