Like many congregations in the “City of Churches,” First Assembly strives to share the good news of Jesus Christ. It is our desire to help people FOLLOW Jesus, CONNECT to the church, DISCOVER their purpose, and make an IMPACT. We accept people where they are at, but love them too much to leave them there. Here they find a place to be themselves, a place to be loved, and a place to belong.
