The Mission of First Presbyterian Church

We are a warm, caring church in downtown Sioux City, Iowa that sustains and challenges its members by celebrating Worship, Christian Education, and opportunities for outreach to the Siouxland region and beyond.

We witness to the belief that each of our lives must be an expression of the God's grace in order to extend Christ's work in the world.

Seeing what we have, we are grateful. Seeing what we could be, we work to be better. Knowing what we want to become, we employ creative leadership to help us achieve our goals.

As a congregation, which made a deliberate decision to remain in our city's center, we want to continue our quest to be a regional church:

In worship, we embrace diverse opinions and inquiring minds.

In education, we support families in their lifelong faith journey.

In mission, we suport the missions of the Presbyterian Church, U.S.A., as well as our own selected missions.

In caring, we open our arms to those in our church and in the community.

In leadership, we help people in their personal growth, so they may help to serve a world in need.

In stewardship, we encourage generosity of our financial resources, our mission, and our planning and dreaming.

In denominational relationships, we trust the wisdom of the Presbyterian connectional system, knowing our collective wisdom works for the good of all.

In ecumenical relationships, we embrace the richness, diversity, and ministry of all people of faith.

In our clergy, we engage those who will lead us in reflecting theologically in the church, our community and city, the nation, and the world.

In ministry, we perceive our daily living as our place of ministry and our means of developing the talents and gifts God has given us.
