About us.
First Presbyterian Church is a congregation with a deep appreciation of our history and tradition, but we are also a growing family with a tremendous sense of hope for the future. We’ve been in existence since 1884 and located at the corner of South Center and Citrus Streets since 1912. The love that we share here is both deep and real, and everyone is welcomed at First Presbyterian Church with genuine warmth and joy.
Our members do not all agree on many issues that divide people in modern culture. However, we believe we are stronger because we have different opinions on important subjects. We can disagree without being disagreeable!
We're Glad You're Here


GOVERNANCE (PCUSA)
Ruling Elders have responsibilities in several areas of the life of the church including exercise in leadership, governance, spiritual discernment, and discipline. They are brought forth to the congregation by self-nomination, or by the work of a Nominating Committee.
The Congregation votes to chose their Ruling Elders which are Ordained and Installed in a Public Congregational Meeting. The Women and Men Installed as Ruling Elders are elected for two year terms.
