Okay, first things first.  Yes, we are Friends, and the old-school name for that is Quaker, but don't let that deter you.  It just means that we will likely have a quiet time in Worship where we spend a few moments hear and listen to God.  We figure He gave us two ears and one mouth; obviously, one is twice as important as the other.

The mission of First Friends Church is to create an atmosphere of love and caring in action by nurturing and challenging our church family.  This will be experienced through prayer, worship, education, and supportive fellowship.  We will continually reach out to promote Christian living as a way of life in our community and world.  Our interpretation of the Gospel affirms the reality of the living Christ here and now, and we believe the risen Lord is available to all without ritual or ceremony.  We seek God's guidance in our endeavor to fulfill our commitment to this mission.
