Thank you for taking the time to visit the First Church of God website. I hope it gives you some understanding of who we are as a church family. It is our desire as a local church to have a measurable impact on our community and our city.

My greatest joy is being able to introduce people to Jesus and to help them discover or rediscover their faith. If you have questions about faith and how it relates to your life, I would like to encourage you to visit us for a service or contact me.

Another of my passions is to see people discover their potential to serve the Lord. If you are looking for a church home, please feel welcome to join us for any of our regular weekly services. Some of our gatherings are small and others are large, but we desire to meet with the Lord every time we get together.

I have been the Pastor at First Church of God for the past six years. It is exciting to be a part of an established yet growing church. We are growing in numbers. But even better, we are growing in our relationships with God and with each other. We are learning to share God's love, forgiveness, healing, peace and power with those our lives touch.

If you haven't found a church you can call home, give us a try. I believe you will find friends you can love and trust and you will experience the reality of God.

If you have questions about First Church of God that are not answered through this site, please use one of the links or other contact information to reach our office or pastoral staff. We don't mind communicating via the Internet, but of course it would be much better if we were able to meet face to face.

I hope to see you soon! Your friend in Christ With Love From and For Jesus,

Pastor Mathew
