Our Ministries

Tend the flock of God that is your charge. I Peter...

At First Presbyterian Church, two elected bodies, the Elders and the Deacons, oversee the ministries of the church. We also host a few guest organizations who oversee interesting and important activities.

Elder Ministries

The Session is the governing body of our congregation. The Session is comprised of the Elders. To lead our church as effectively as possible, the Elders chair the following committees:

  • First Contact Ministry
  • Christian Growth and Development
  • Long Range Planning
  • Worship
  • Nominating
  • Stewardship and Finance
  • Property and Maintenance
  • Personnel

Perhaps you have concerns in one of these areas, or you want to learn more, or you would be available to help with any of these ministries.

Deacon Ministries

The Deacons are elected to minister to the congregation. To fulfill this responsibility, the Deacons chair these committees:

  • First Caring Friends
  • Hospitality

Perhaps you or someone you know has a special need, or you are interested in assisting with this work.

Community Ministry/Mission

Chaired by an Elder and made up of Deacons, this ministry represents a joint initiative aligned with our vision "Sharing Christ's love through intentional acts of compassion."

Guest Organizations

First Presbyterian Church provides space for these groups to enable them to serve the community and to offer specialized activities.

  • Daughters of Scotia
  • Hope Child Care Center
  • Ohio Artist's Egg Guild
  • Scottish Bag Pipe Band
  • Summit Bell Choir

Perhaps you or someone you know has an interest or a need in one of these areas.
