The First Presbyterian Church Kindergarten/Preschool is a missions church. We believe that just as Jesus, "the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and give his life as a ransom for many", we are to do the same.

Our service to Missions as a church should come in one of two forms.

At First Presbyterian Church Kindergarten/Preschool, we are Christians above all else.
