Journey to Healthy Discipleship

"I believe you'll find us to be a place where you can find the love and grace of Jesus, and the encouragement of a church family and friends. This is a place where we are all challenged to make a difference." Rev. Dr. Tim Ozment, Directing Pastor

Go HIGHER with many worship opportunities.
Explore the different style worship services available at Peoria First, including  traditional, Renew (contemporary), Renuévo (bilingual), and Alive (Loaves & Fish) services.
