Our
Neighborhood
The map below will help you to locate us (near the corner of Buchtel
Ave. and E. Market St.). Click to get directions or zoom in
and out for a better look.
We usually tell our friends to look for us between Wendy's (to
the west) and Burger King (to the east). Yes, we are the "fast
food church"!
Here are some pointers for navigating and parking in our neighborhood.
- There is a one-way driveway on the west (Wendy's) side
of the building that leads into our main parking lot. There are
special parking spaces for visitors in this lot. Help yourself!
- Agate is one-way emptying out onto E. Market St. on our
east (Burger King) side. Don't try to enter this way!
- If our main lot is full, you may park in the lower Burger King
parking lot, on the east side of the Wendy's parking lot (Sundays
only), and in the Bank One parking lot across the street (away
from the ATM).
Accessibility
So that all can join us in worship, we have:
- An elevator from the parking lot level to the sanctuary level.
- A ramp into the sanctuary on the east side of the building.
- Handicapped restrooms.
- Large print bulletins and hearing aid devices in the coatroom
to the east of the sanctuary.
Asking
for Prayers
There are several ways you can ask for prayer support at First
Presbyterian Church.
- Before the service, you can make prayer requests on cards
found at the entrances to the sanctuary. Place your prayer request
in the box next to the cards before the service begins, and during
greeting time these cards will be placed on the communion table
at the front of the sanctuary. During the service, the pastor
will make a general prayer for the requests but will not mention
individual ones.
- After the service, the Wholeness Ministry is available.
In Rooms 205 and 206, lay ministers will meet privately with those
who desire private prayer and/or anointing. You can read more
about this ministry in the blue brochures in the pew racks.
