130 Years: First Church Anniversary

130 Years: Celebration Sunday
January 29, 2023 // Pastor John Hill

In 1893, ten Dutch immigrant families started First Church, and over the last 130 years we have seen God’s faithfulness as we have strived to reach generation after generation to become followers of Jesus! This message celebrates the legacy of those who have come before us, but casts a vision for how to follow Jesus and reach the generations that are yet to come!
