Local and Global Ministries Supported by First Pres

First Pres Loves Our Neighbors

And in the Kingdom of God, we know our neighbors can be found as close as right across the street at Midland High School and as far away as the jungle hills of Myanmar. Using our church as a launching point, we serve our community and the world around us in a variety of ways which you can explore here. Please reach out to our Outreach Pastor, Walter Thompson, with any questions.

Get Involved

We're eager to help you get personally connected to our outreach ministry. 

Some of these ministries have volunteer opportunities; others need our prayer support above all else. Occasionally we put together all-church service opportunities.
