The Pastor’s Welcome
Welcome to First Church! Thank you for visiting our website. I am aware that finding your church home can be exhausting especially during these strange times. You may have questions. I would be delighted to talk to you on the phone (941-900-8231-cell) to answer any questions that you may have about our church. Over the years many people who had plans to shop around for a church have told me that they felt so warmly welcomed and at home at First Church that there was no need to continue church shopping. With social distancing and wearing masks, our hospitality is somewhat muffled. However, we are still a warm and caring congregation. May God keep you safe and healthy!
Blessings!
