Our logo represents our congregation–young, dynamic, visionary. It also represents tradition, stability, and sound doctrine. But what I like most is that our cross and flame are now showing the movement, the blowing of the Holy Spirit that still changes lives and you and I – we are that movement. Let us seek the Holy Spirit together.

Worship the Lord with Gladness. Enter His presence with Singing. Psalm 100:2
We worship the same God, however the style in which we connect with Him may differ. From that understanding, First Church offers a variety of styles in which we worship. Visit our worship page for details.
Service is part of the DNA of our congregation. We have felt called to remain in downtown Peoria to serve Christ through our Community Ministries. Each of our well established ministries had its roots in God's call on a member of our congregation. First Church Peoria supports and encourages its members to plan and develop ministry.
Visit the Serve section of our website to learn more about our various Community Ministries.
We believe the arts are a primary human need and can serve as an important channel to grow faith, grow knowledge, and grow community. For more information on Arts@First visit our art and music pages.
