First Presbyterian

Welcome to the website of the First Presbyterian Church at Caldwell!

We hope this site will motivate you to find out more about us and our ministry. Most of all, we hope you will come visit us. You will find that we are an inclusive, welcoming congregation, one filled with energy and love by a people committed to spiritual growth through worship, study, fellowship, and service.

We offer worship services that are both inspiring and meaningful as well as programs of study that help us discern God's will. There are many opportunities for fellowship among our members, allowing us to support one another through our joys, sorrows, and concerns. Just as our ministries reach into our church, they also reach out to the local and global communities.

We welcome you to this site and trust that as you learn about us you will want to come experience life with us!

Grace and peace,

Rick Sommers, Pastor/Head of Staff
